The Aso Villa Chapel on Sunday formally bade
President Goodluck Jonathan, his wife, Patience,
and members of their family farewell in a grand
style.
A special thanksgiving and commendation service
was held for that purpose inside the chapel built
by the former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s
administration.
That was the last time Jonathan and his family
would be worshipping in the chapel before
handing over power to Muhammadu Buhari on
May 29 since Sunday service will not hold there
on May 24.
An interdenominational service has been
scheduled to hold at the National Christian Centre
that day to commemorate the nation’s Democracy
Day.Colourfully-dressed chapel members, friends and
associates of the first family, as well top
government officials turned out en masse to wish
them well.
The Chapel Committee as well as the children’s
church presented gift items to Jonathan, his wife
and his mother, Eunice. The President later led his family
to dance to the altar for a special thanksgiving to express
gratitude to God for being with him in the last five
years that he has been in the saddle.
Thereafter, Mrs. Jonathan also danced forward for
a special thanksgiving to God for sparing her life
throughout their stay in the Presidential Villa,
Abuja despite falling sick a couple of years back.
The President’s Chaplain, Ven. Obioma
Onwuzurumba, in a short message titled “To God
be the Glory,” thanked God for keeping the first
family safe throughout their tenure.
