President Jonathan's Easter Embarrassment.

An embarrassing power outage took place during the Easter message of President Goodluck Jonathan at the Our Saviour’s Church (Anglican Communion), Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos, and making him experience a dose of the epileptic power supply in the country.
The power outage occurred six minutes into the President’s nine-minute speech, causing him to use a battery-powered microphone for the remainder of the time.
It was the second power outage during the service which also had former Head of State, Gen Yakubu Gowon in attendance, the first one occurring a few minutes before the President mounted the podium.
Jonathan, however, smartly turned the situation into a material for a joke, saying the power was deliberately put out to remind him of the urgent need to tackle the problem in the country.
“They know that I’m here; that’s why they took light, at least to remind me that I must not sleep until we stabilise power. God willing, next year they will not take light,” Jonathan said.
He assured Nigerians that the country would survive the incessant terrorists’ attacks and other challenges facing it.
President Jonathan then thanked Christians for their prayers which he said had helped to keep Nigeria united as a nation.
