President Goodluck Jonathan and Vice President-elect, Professor Yemi Osinbajo on Sunday, May 24, worshipped at the National Christian Centre, Abuja as part of the 2015 Presidential Inauguration service for the Nigerian Christian community.
The inauguration activities kicked off last Friday with a prayer service at the National Mosque, Abuja, where former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, represented the President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari.
The interdenominational inauguration service at the National Christian Centre also doubled as a Presidential Thanksgiving service for out-going President Goodluck Jonathan and his wife, Patience, who was in attendance with some members of his cabinet.
The theme of the service was “Give Thanks in all Circumstances.”
The first reading at the service taken from Isaiah 62: 1-7 was taken by out-going Senate President, David Mark, while the Vice President-elect, Mr. Osinbajo, took the second reading from the gospel according to Luke 17: 11-19.
Also present at the service were the wife of the Vice President-elect, Dolapo Osinbajo; National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, John Odigie-Oyegun; former Head of State, Yakubu Gowon; Secretary to Federal Government, Pius Anyim; and a number of ministers of the government. Sam Nda-Isaiah, an APC stalwart and Ayo Oritsejafor, President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), were also present.
