Former Presidents, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan on
Sunday worshipped at St. Stephen’s Anglican Church in Otuoke, Jonathan’s
home town.
Recall that Obasanjo visited Jonathan on Friday in Otuoke.
The two ex-Presidents, Governor of Bayelsa State, Seriake Dickson and
many other dignitaries joined other members of the congregation during
the 9:00 AM church service.
Jonathan, while welcoming Obasanjo to his community church, said
during the service that Obasanjo had promised to visit Otuoke in return
for his recent visit to Obasanjo’s hometown, adding that he didn’t know
it would come so soon.
He, however, called for peace and understanding among Nigerians.
Obasanjo, while presenting his goodwill message to the congregation, described Jonathan as Nigeria’s youngest former President.
He advised Nigerians to always speak the truth, stressing that he
believed in the Biblical verse that, “only the truth shall set you
free”.
Obasanjo said, “unless we have peace, we will not have development
and if we do not have development, we will not be able to defeat
poverty.”
