Goodluck Jonathan has sent a powerful message to
youths in Nigeria and described them as his
personal inspiration.
The former president gave this message in
celebration of the International Youth Day which is
a UN designated day for the recognition and
celebration of youths around the world.
Ex-president Goodluck Jonathan was also in
contention for the award.
Jonathan in a statement via his Facebook page
cited instances and occurrences when Nigerian
youths have made the country proud and urged
them to continue to develop themselves.
He wrote:
“I salute the resilience and creativity of
our youths on a day dedicated to them. From
Adichie to Jelani Aliyu, our youths continue to be
our pride.“When Nigeria’s economy became the largest
economy on the African continent, it was and is
because of our youths.“When we perform exploits at the Olympics and
other sporting events, it is because of the great
Nigerian youths.“Nigeria and indeed the world has no greater asset
than our youth and you will continue to be my
personal inspiration.“My message to youths is to urge you to continue
to develop yourself through positive endeavors.
The future is yours. God bless our youths. GEJ”
Since the former president left office in 2015, he has
embarked on peace duties including the
establishment of his Goodluck Jonathan
foundation
A few days ago, the former president was spotted in Zambia where he is leading the African Union observer team to observe the country’s 2016
general elections.
Jonathan is the leader of the African Union Election
Monitoring Mission to Zambia’s August 11 polls.
