The Presidency on Sunday said despite losing the March 28
presidential election to Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), of the All
Progressives Congress, President Goodluck Jonathan is still working for
Nigerians.
Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben
Abati, made the clarification in a message he posted on his Facebook
page on Sunday.
Abati was reacting to some reports that claimed that the present
administration which winds down on May 29 had abandoned some of its
ongoing projects because of Jonathan’s electoral loss.
The presidential spokesman said there was no truth in the reports.
He said contrary to the reports, Jonathan was still busy working for Nigerians as their President.
He said evidence that Jonathan was still working abound at the site
of the second Niger Bridge which is currently under construction,
ongoing work on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway as well as the Abuja-Kaduna
Railways, among others.
While thanking Nigerians for allowing Jonathan to serve them, he
expressed the hope that the transformation being witnessed under the
current administration would continue under Buhari’s leadership from May
29.
He said the President maintained that he remained committed to
service and sacrifices for Nigeria in whatever capacity he finds
himself.
Abati, who attached a video of the ongoing work on the second Niger
Bridge, wrote, “A short video from the site of the second Niger Bridge
which is currently under construction according to project schedule.
“Our projects have not been deserted as some reports give.
“From Lagos-Ibadan Road to Abuja-Kaduna Railways and Kashimbilla Dam,
which are set for commissioning, we are still working for you.
“President Jonathan prays for the incoming administration led by
General Buhari to achieve even as we hope that this transformation
continues.
“We thank you for letting us serve you.
“President Jonathan maintains that service and necessary sacrifices
will be his lifelong commitment to Nigeria in whatever capacity.”
