  • Jonathan felicitates with Shonekan, Nwobodo

  • President Goodluck Jonathan on Friday felicitated with a former Head of the Interim National Government, Chief Ernest Shonekan; and a former Governor of old Anambra State, Chief Jim Nwobodo, on their birthdays.


    While Shonekan is celebrating his 79th birthday, Nwobodo clocks 75 on Saturday.
    In a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, the President said Nigeria owes Shonekan a huge debt of gratitude for his immense contributions to national development.
    “On behalf of my family, the Government and people of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, I write to felicitate with you on the occasion of your 79th birthday anniversary, tomorrow, May 9, 2015.

    “Over the years, you have always readily given off yourself to the cause of peace, stability, growth and development in our country, Nigeria. For this, we owe you an enduring debt of gratitude,” Jonathan was quoted to have written to Shonekan.
    The President prayed that God will continue to guide and bless the former head of government.
    Also in a congratulatory letter to Nwobodo, the President noted that the former governor had every cause to celebrate and thank God for His benevolence on the occasion of his 75th birthday.
    “In a life that has seen you reach the apex of your entrepreneurial, public service and political endeavours, there is great cause for you, members of your family, your many associates, protégés and well-wishers to thank Almighty God for His benevolence upon you.
    “As you deservedly celebrate this landmark, it is my prayer that Almighty God continues to bless you with robust health and many more years of happiness,” Jonathan wrote to Nwobodo.
    He wished him very happy birthday celebrations.
