Jonathan won’t abandon any project for Buhari – Presidency

The Presidency on Sunday disclosed that it won’t abandon any project for the incoming government.

It said despite losing March 28 presidential election to Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) of the All Progressives Congress, President Goodluck Jonathan would still wrap up his projects before May 29 handover date.

The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, made this disclosure in a message posted on his Facebook wall, Sunday evening.

The presidential spokesman was reacting to some reports that claimed that the current administration had abandoned some of its ongoing projects because of Jonathan’s electoral fall out.

He said contrary to the reports, Jonathan was still busy working for Nigerians as their President.

Abati explained that Jonathan was still workin at the site of the second Niger Bridge which is currently under construction, the ongoing work on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway as well as the Abuja-Kaduna Railways.

While thanking Nigerians for allowing Jonathan to serve them, he expressed the hope that the transformation being witnessed under the current administration would continue under Buhari’s leadership from May 29.

Abati, who attached a video of ongoing work on the second Niger Bridge, wrote, “A short video from the site of the second Niger Bridge which is currently under construction according to project schedule.

“Our projects have not been deserted as some reports give.

“From Lagos-Ibadan Road to Abuja-Kaduna Railways and Kashimbilla Dam, which are set for inauguration, we are still working for you.

“President Jonathan prays for the incoming administration led by General Buhari to achieve even as we hope that this transformation continues.

“We thank you for letting us serve you.

“President Jonathan maintains that service and necessary sacrifices will be his lifelong commitment to Nigeria in whatever capacity.” .
