President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday, freely mixed with Nigerian youths drawn from various segments of the society in an event tagged “Meet The President”.
Wearing a blue polo and brown pants with a cap (inscribed with his initials -GEJ) and matching brown suede footwear to go with it, the president could easily have passed for a 32-year old.
The event which was held at the prestigious Eko Hotel and Suites witnessed a large turn-out of Nigerian youths who came in their numbers to interact with Nigeria’s no 1 citizen.
Virtually everyone was there – young entrepreneurs, consultants, journalists, actors and actresses, sports personalities, bloggers, media personalities, musicians and various youth groups canvassing for the president’s re-election come March 28, 2015.
The event which was beamed live on national television, generated lots of comments on Nigeria’s social stratosphere as tweets, facebook comments and instagram pictures kept rolling on from every corner of the nation. The president, who was calm and relaxed throughout the event showed his other side as he danced, joked and posed for pictures with many of the attendees.
