No elaborate Independence celebration till 2014 – Pres. Jonathan

“Nigeria’s independence anniversary in 2012 and 2013 would not be different from the low key celebration of Nigeria’s 51st independence anniversary last Saturday, October 1, just as the 2014 independence anniversary would be merged with centenary celebration to mark 100 years of amalgamation at the twilight of his administration on May 2015.

“The Government had insisted that the low key celebration was to cut cost having spent huge amount of money on Nigeria’s 50th independence anniversary celebration as well as the inauguration ceremony of the President and Governors of the 36 States in less than one year.” - President Jonathan.

Wow, very thoughtful of him...hmmm. Meanwhile, your president is currently on a two-day visit to Ghana...he's been in the West African country since yesterday...in case you were wondering once again about his whereabouts...:-)
