Former President Goodluck Jonathan is planning to set up a Foundation in the first quarter on next year for the purpose of advancing human development.
In a letter he personally wrote and sent to former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Jonathan made it clear that after a deserved rest since handing over the Presidency to Muhammadu Buhari, he is now out to engage in public service, especially to humanity.
He said that the ‘Goodluck Jonathan Foundation’ would also enable him to spend the rest of his life making the world better place.
The foundation, he added, would also advance the course of world peace and security.
He explained following his handing-over of power to President Buhari, he proceeded on a “long deserved break,” saying: “now well-rested, I am back to work to continue to serve and dedicate my life to promoting peace and prosperity for all.”
Jonathan said that he has set up an office in Bayelsa State where he can be reached, and that his staff are prepared to serve Chief Obasanjo and respond to his enquiries at any time.
“Furthermore, I will be devoting the rest of my life and energy to making the world a better place. I am currently finalizing efforts to set up The Goodluck Jonathan Foundation. More details on the work of the Foundation will be available at the launch, which I believe should take place by the 3rd quarter of 2016.”
He then formally sought for the continuous support, counsel and cooperation of Obasanjo. [myad]
