We Will Overcome Our Present Challenges – Jonathan

Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday sent out a message of hope to Nigerians, declaring that the nation will overcome its current economic challenges.

He said Nigerians must be prepared to protect and develop the country at all times, stressing that the current challenges were transient even as he urged Christians to continue to pray for the nation.

He stated this while speaking at the public presentation of a book titled, “The History of St. Stephen’s Anglican Church, Otuoke, his home town in Ogbia Local Government Area of Bayelsa State.

Jonathan said the essence of history was to know how societies or clans evolved, adding that there is need to capture the spread of Christianity in communities in the Niger Delta.

He, therefore, appealed to indigenes of Otuoke to read the book and volunteer additional information for the next edition. The former president also eulogized the book reviewer, Professor Emeritus, Ebiegberi Alagoa, who he said has contributed so much towards the documentation of the history of Niger Delta.
