The presidential advisory committee held a valedictory session for President Jonathan over breakfast at the Presidential villa today.

Leader of the group and former secretary general of the commonwealth, Chief Emeka Anyaoku said they came to express their gratitude to him for conceding defeat at the presidential elections.
"We had an excellent valedictory meeting. It was the last we are meeting with the outgoing president. We told him that our Nation Nigeria owes him a huge debt of gratitude for what he has done in terms of success of elections and above all in terms of gesture of picking up the phone and congratulating the President-elect even before the final result for the elections were announced. That singular act has earned our country a great deal of admiration and respect abroad. We thanked him and congratulated him and wish him well in his future endeavour" he said.

I don't know the exact impact the lagos to Abuja and other trekkers have made but they have sure added more value to Nigerians than Sambo.
