I Call On You All To Pray For The Incoming Government - President Jonathan tells Nigerians at Inauguration service

 

Yesterday Sunday, May 24 vice-president elect Prof Yemi Osibanjo and wife attended the  Thanksgiving & Inauguration Church Service of  President Goodluck Jonathan and the First lady Patience Jonathan  In Abuja. During the service, the president said  he is calling on all Nigerians  to pray for them who are leaving, members of his family and his administration as they leave. But they should even pray more for the incoming government because they are leaving as private people to manage their private businesses; they are coming in to manage the whole country.

 I call on you to pray for us who are leaving, members of my family and my administration as we leave. But you should even pray more for the incoming government because we are leaving as private people to manage our private businesses; they are coming in to manage the whole country. So they require more prayers because I can make mistakes that will affect me and very few people, but if they make mistake it will affect the whole nation. So I call on all Christians and the religious bodies to pray for the incoming government to succeed. Because all what we want as a nation both Nigerians at home and abroad is for good governance, prosperity, unity and peace. We cannot achieve that without the help of God. We are here not having mass service for mass burial but we are here having service to inaugurate an incoming government,”
