President Jonathan and First lady were joined by the vice-president elect,Prof Yemi Osibanjo and wife at the Thanksgiving &Inauguration Church Service, Abuja, Sunday, May 24.
The CAN president,Oritsejafor was also in attendance..
At the service,president Jonathan asked Nigerians to pray for him,members of his family and administration as they leave
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,”
