President Goodluck Jonathan will on Wednesday (today) embark on a Christian pilgrimage to Israel.

This was contained in a statement by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, on Tuesday in Abuja.

Abati said contrary to media reports that the President would be traveling with 19 state governors and about 30,000 Nigerians, Jonathan would be accompanied by four ministers.

While describing the reports on the bogus number of entourage as a misrepresentation of facts, the presidential spokesman gave the names of those in the President’s entourage to include Senator Emmanuel Paulker; Minister of Agriculture, Dr. Akinwunmi Adesina; Minister of Water Resources, Mrs. Sarah Ochekpe; Minister of Works, Mr. Mike Onolememen; Minister of State (Foreign Affairs), Prof. Viola Onwuliri; and the National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki.

The statement read in part, “While the President may meet and interact with some other Nigerians who are already on pilgrimage to Israel, reports in the media that he is leading 19 state governors and about 30,000 Nigerians to Israel are a misrepresentation of facts.

“Irrespective of President Jonathan’s visit, thousands of Nigerians visit Israel annually during the pilgrimage season which goes on for months and they will undoubtedly do so again between now and early next year.

“It is entirely fortuitous for some of these Nigerian pilgrims therefore that their visit to Israel this year will coincide with President Jonathan’s.

“President Jonathan is expected back in Abuja early next week.”

Abati said the President would meet with President Shimon Peres, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and members of the Israeli Parliament, the Knesset.

He said talks between Jonathan’s delegation and Israeli government officials would focus on the enhancement of bilateral relations between Nigeria and Israel.

The bilateral talks, according to Abati, will focus on areas including trade, economic development, infrastructure, transportation, agriculture, communications, culture, education and tourism.

Our presidents have been attending pilgrim services in mecca, medina and israel almost every year since independence and nothing has been changing but going from bad to worse.

Stop going to those places, let them attend opa oranmiyan shrine, amadioha shrine, ombatse shrine, okija shrine etc and see if administration go change!

Sometimes, all you can say is "ok".

Safe journey!

But truth be told sir, we want to work on our own and not depend on others. Please let us look inward, we have potentials.

This is the part that interests me.

Wishing our President and his entourage safest trip to the Holy land.

this man need deliverance and why going to israel for that? T.B joshua dey here for you now.

Our dear president for sure has daft advisers! How on earth does he place the educational sector on hold to go and discuss education elswhere? My take is that this is another frivolous globe throting that will yield no positive result!...just hope when he return, the discussion he had with whoever will be enough to end ASUU strike! We are tired of this unneccesary holding talks!

Goooood! Dts our dear CEREMONIAL LEADER...#smh

Abati said contrary to media reports that the President would be traveling with 19 state governors and about 30,000 Nigerians, Jonathan would be accompanied by four ministers.

The general condemnation from Nigerians led to the change of plan.

Did i hear Isreal?Make him still remember say ASUU strike still dey on board o..

Goooooood! Dt our dear CEREMONIAL LEADER ..#smh
