Jonathan replies the NYSC member who donated N10,000 to his re-election campaign fund

 

Following his endorsement as sole candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for next year’s election, President Goodluck Jonathan has promised  to count on the support, goodwill and prayers of patriotic Nigerians as he strives to give the best possible leadership for the country.

The President said so in a reply to a young Nigerian, Ezemagu Sunday Nnamdi, who sent a donation of N10,000 for his re-election bid. Nnamdi is currently doing his National Youth Service.

Jonathan said he was deeply touched and encouraged by the support his administration continues to receive from young Nigerians.

“Your gracious gesture is particularly gratifying, coming as it does from one of our nation’s vibrant and gifted youths who are our successor generation and for whom our administration is unequivocally committed to providing the requisite environment to optimally realise their tremendous creative and productive potential.

“As I carry on with the task of positively transforming our country for its God-ordained greatness and prosperity, I will continue to count on the goodwill as well as the practical and prayerful support of committed patriots like you”, the President wrote in the reply to Nnamdi.

Thanking the NYSC member for the donation, which was sent before the PDP adopted the President on Friday, as its sole candidate for the 2015 presidential elections, Jonathan also welcomed his expression of faith in the Federal Government’s ongoing efforts to reposition Nigeria for sustained growth and development.

The President assured him and other young Nigerians that he would continue to do his best in the service of the nation in keeping with their trust and expectations.

In the letter accompanying his donation, Nnamdi assured the President of the continued support of patriotic Nigerians and urged him to seek re-election in 2015.

“Nigerians are behind you. We see your good works in power, transportation, education, housing, ICT, sports, electoral reforms, observation of the principle of federal character and the creation of investment opportunities.

“The insurgents who are trying to destabilise your administration are enemies of peace and progress. You will surely defeat them.”
