The Presidency has asked Nigerians to be thankful for the
little mercies shown to them by the President Muhammadu government and
emphasize on them instead of finding faults.
Femi Adesina, the Special Adviser to the President on Media
and Publicity, stated this on Channels Television’s Sunday politics.
He said Nigerians should be thankful that bombings by Boko
Haram insurgents no longer happen on a daily basis in the country.
Adesina stated this while responding to the complaints by Nigerians over the rising insecurity in the country.
He recalled that there was a time in Nigeria when bombs
would go off for about 6 times in a single day, insisting that since Buhari
became President, the killings had reduced.
Asked if security had improved under the current government,
the presidential aide said, “Yes, there are times, a week, two weeks even a
month that you don’t have all these things happening.
“There was a time in the immediate past when they happened
daily several times. You talked of one bombing within three or four days.
“There was a time in this country when bombs went off like
firecrackers every day.
“There could be five, six bombings in one day. Now, you can
have two, three months with no single case of bombing.
“Let’s be thankful for small mercies. Any mercies we
receive, let’s be thankful for it and let’s not dwell on negatives alone.
“Life is taking the rough and smooth together. So, sometimes
we see when things go on for days, for weeks with no negative developments, let
us emphasise those ones… We have challenges, but these are not the constants in
the country.”
About 344 students from the Government Science Secondary
School in Kankara, Katsina State were abducted from the boarding school over a
week ago.
They were, however, returned on Friday, having spent exactly
one week in the kidnappers’ den.
