President Goodluck Jonathan on Friday pleaded with all those involved in unleashing violence on the nation, including members of Islamic sect, Boko Haram, to lay down their arms in the interest of the nation.
He urged them to embrace peace so that they could join hands with his administration to tackle the nation’s common enemies, which he identified as poverty, unemployment, disease, hunger and illiteracy.
Jonathan made the call in Makurdi, Benue State ,while rounding off his two-day visit to the state.
He said the task of building a just, equitable and modern society was a joint one that could not be achieved by the government alone.
He said development could only be possible in an atmosphere of peace and stability.
He said, “Our nation is today faced with security challenges for which the government is handling.
“We would continue to handle security challenges; it is like every challenging situation.
“When someone gets sick, we must find a way to cure the person.
“We have just been confronted with a number of security challenges. We are working day and night and assure you the good people of Benue and all Nigerians that we would surely overcome it in the shortest possible time.
“To sensibly confront these challenges, it requires our collective vigilance, renewed commitment and faith of patriotic Nigerians with those ideas that bind us together as a people.”
The President said to make meaning of the nation’s life and resources, Nigerians must work together in unity, hope and trust.
Why not arrest IBB now? he has graduated from letter bomb master to terrorist, he is a dangerous human being that can not be predicted and also General Buhari who has made good his treat that he will make Nigeria ungovernable if he did not win the election and shike Abubaka from Kogi state living in Abuja I strongly suspect that he is an ae-kada personality in Nigeria.From his statement he made on tv when Christians and Muslim were looking for the solution to the fighting and killing in Nigeria some years back
ReplyDeleteHe is not fit to be the C in C if he will retire to begging.
ReplyDeleteim so ashamed of our president
Which among the direct quotes above has Sola Ade seen the word 'beg' or 'begging'? We should learn to exercise caution and restraint in our comments against the highest office in the land. More so if the information is a reported one from a third party,(the media,) not a direct speech we listen to as coming from the occupant of an office. We should not take delight in placing on the internet, abusive comments against our President, the symbol of our international image. We should respect our Nigeria epitomized by its First Citizen so that Nigerians may be accorded a little more respect in and outside Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteThanks my fellow Nigerian.They are illetrate.How on earth pple will just be abusing a president of a nation anyhow?Is he the one breeding Boko-Haram sect?What of those that said they will make this country ungovernable?U can't just arrest som1 without tangible evidence talkless of past president(IBB).If you have enuogh facts,bring them out.Stop molesting the president.If you rubbish a family head,all the members of that family is rubbished.
ReplyDeleteSome people can not govern their families the smallest units of society of which they are heads. Such people talk loudest and abuse people most.They should try their popularity by attempting to contest as members of their Village Council let me not talk of L.G. Councillors, if they think governing Nigeria is as simple as typing on the net.
ReplyDeleteSola Ade need Tobe reminded that his comment on the president has not solved any problem rather it attracted abuses and humiliation. that goes to show how narrow minded this ade of a man is.people who are quick to make such statements are themselves epitome of fears.
ReplyDeletePRAYER IS THE MASTER KEY. DARKNESS WILL NEVER PREVAIL OVER LIGHT.
