A new Nigeria can only be born with a new constitution says the leader of the Church of Nigeria Anglican Communion,Henry Ndukuba. 

Ndukuba the Archbishop Metropolitan and Primate of all Nigeria declared in Nnewi: "We need a new constitution that would reinforce true federalism, granting states more powers to address local challenges and drive development initiatives."

Delivering his opening address at the just concluded 14th  General Synod of the Church  of Nigeria Anglican Communion at St Mark's Anglican Church Nnewichi Ndukuba said: "To address the pressing issues and lay a solid foundation for a stronger future, Nigeria must embark on the arduous but essential task of crafting a new Constitution that reflects the aspirations and values of all people and culture.

"One is convinced that what 

we need is a totally new Constitution made by a Sovereign Representation of the Ethnic Nationalities of this country."

He stressed further that this new Constitution must "reflect the nation's identity and diversity and be a unifying force that recognizes and protect our diversity."

He noted that Nigeria, "is a diverse and dynamic nation, which has seen significant progress over the years, but it also faces numerous challenges. The current constitution has limitations that hinder the nation's growth and stability", the Primate concluded.
