President Goodluck Jonathan will later today depart Lagos on a brief
pilgrimage to Israel, his office said in a statement on Thursday.
The statement issued in Abuja by Reuben Abati, the Special Adviser to
the President on Media and Publicity, said Mr. Jonathan would visit
Christian Holy sites during the pilgrimage.
According to the statement, he will join other Nigerian pilgrims in a
prayer session for the well-being and progress of the country at an
Inter-Denominational Service in Jerusalem on Sunday.
The president, who will be accompanied by the Chaplain of the
Presidential Villa, Obioma Onwuzurumba, and his principal aides, is
expected back in Abuja on Monday.
Mr. Jonathan’s office did not specifically identify the aides
accompanying him on the trip but the President is known for travelling
with outsized delegations on foreign trips.
