Former President of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan, has been vocal in making calls for sacrificial giving to victims of the Benue flood.
Apparently, those calls have yielded results because he was back on Twitter again today to appreciate those who responded. See below:
1. Yesterday, I called on well meaning Nigerians to sacrificially come to the aid of the Benue flood victims

2. I am glad today that Waziri Adamawa, @atiku has heeded that call and donated ₦5 million to the victims.

3. I commend him and again urge others to emulate this worthy example. GEJ.

Social media is unpredictable at best, TwitterNG more so, but a controversial figure like GEJ always ensures negative press attends the same dinner party as positive reviews. Here’s how they responded to GEJ’s philanthropic interest:
Hero!

How much have you donated or would you donate from the money you and your cohorts stole?

Dasuki in my mind. Emulation conspiracy

O ga o.
What a good effort from the former president of Nigeria. Not everyone in power looted the funds of the country. Calling for assistance to the flood victims is different ball game from looting. If one has nothing to donate, keep quiet or encourage the donors. God bless GEJ
