Jonathan made this known in the early hours of Friday on his official Facebook page.Read the message below…

“ON BEHALF OF MY FAMILY AND I, I WOULD LIKE TO WISH ALL NIGERIANS A HAPPY NEW YEAR. WE ARE ALL BROTHERS AND SISTERS BORN FROM THE WOMB OF ONE NIGERIA AND AS I HAVE SAID PREVIOUSLY, WE WOULD NOT BE NIGERIANS IF GOD DID NOT WILL IT. HAVING FOUND OURSELVES AS NIGERIANS BY THE DIVINE PROVIDENCE OF GOD, LET US CELEBRATE OUR NIGERIANNESS AND MAKE 2016 OUR TURNING POINT YEAR IN WHICH WE EMBRACE EACH OTHER AND WORK AS A TEAM TO ADVANCE THE FRONTIERS OF NIGERIA IN EVERY FIELD OF HUMAN ENDEAVOUR. IN THE 80S, OUR PEOPLE SANG AND DANCED TO THE HIT SONG ‘NIGERIA GO SURVIVE’. I AM CONVINCED THAT IN 2016, NIGERIA WILL NOT ONLY SURVIVE, SHE WILL ALSO THRIVE AND HELP DRIVE THE PEACE, PROSPERITY AND UNITY OF ALL HER PEOPLE. THIS IS SOMETHING WE CAN ALL LOOK FORWARD TO IN THE NEW YEAR AND BEYOND. MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND MAY GOD BLESS NIGERIA.”
