Presidential spokesman, Reuben Abati, in a statement today, said Jonathan wrote the corps member and said he was "deeply touched and encouraged by the immense support his administration continues to receive from young Nigerians from all parts of the country".
“Your gracious gesture is particularly gratifying, coming as it does from one of our nation’s vibrant and gifted youth who are our successor generation and for whom our Administration is unequivocally committed to providing the requisite environment to optimally realize their tremendous creative and productive potentials.“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,” Jonathan wrote the corps member.
According to Abati, the corps member's donation was sent before the Peoples’ Democratic Party adopted the president Thursday as its sole candidate for the 2015 presidential elections.
He said the president also welcomed the corps member's expression of faith in the Federal Government’s efforts towards repositioning Nigeria for sustained growth and development.
He quoted the president as assuring the corps member 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.
Abati said the corps member, in the letter forwarding his donation, assured Jonathan 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,” the corps member was said to have written the president.
