President of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan who has been away from the country to Israel on a pilgrimage and official state visit has been criticized because his entourage included the aviation minister, Stella Oduah and the state resources spent on Christian pilgrimage may have been a unnecessary expense.

Despite the criticisms, the president’s pilgrimage has been going on smoothly and was pictured with the President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN),Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor with other ministers at a prayer session where hands were laid on him.
