President Goodluck Jonathan on Wednesday commended a former Head of State, Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), for what he called his very statesman-like views on terrorism and insecurity in Nigeria as expressed in his article, which was published by the media over the past two days.
The commendation was contained in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, made available to journalists in Abuja.
Abati quoted the President as saying that he believed that the position taken by Buhari was that of a true patriot, respected former Head of State, revered elder statesman and nationalist.
The President further assured Buhari, a chief of the All Progressives Congress, of his preparedness to work with him and all other patriotic Nigerians, irrespective of their political affiliation to end terrorism in the country.
The statement read, “The President welcomes General Buhari’s call on all Nigerians to remain steadfast and work in unity to overcome terrorists and other merchants of death who currently threaten national security.
“President Jonathan fully shares General Buhari’s view that a minority must never be allowed to ‘bring the nation to its knees through terror.’
“He has noted General Buhari’s recommendation that the nation’s counter-terrorism strategies be further fine-tuned and welcomes his kind offer of support and co-operation in dealing with the challenge of terrorism.
“The President assures General Buhari of his Administration’s sincere commitment and dedication to the successful prosecution of the fight against terrorism and all other threats to national security.
“He further assures the General of his preparedness to work with him and all other patriotic Nigerians, irrespective of their political affiliations, to strengthen national security and end the scourge of terrorism.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

Mr President once called Gen buhari and his party Apc names accused them that dey are patty of ppl that funds terrorism now see the newest joker Gej let us kindly wait and see the nxt action. May God help us
ReplyDeleteJonathan is totally confused. His attack dogs accused Buhari of funding Boko Haram last week and Buhari demanded for an apology, this is obviously a subtle way of apologising go Buhari.
ReplyDeletelets wait and see becouse politics in Nigeria is lip service, time shall tell
ReplyDeleteLet it manifest into a concrete action and not just mere words. Corruption must be dealt with if something concrete is to be achieved otherwise that will be mere rhetoric.
ReplyDeleteCompare and contrast Gen Buhari's position with that of Admiral Nyako and you will find that of Nyako completely off point and irresponsible. Yet both are from the same region and are products of the same institution .
ReplyDeleteALHAMDULILLAH, THE FIGHT AGAINST TERRORISM, CORRUPTION AND BAD GOVERNANCE IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE HANDLE BEYOND PARTY SENTIMENTS, ALL HAND SHOULD BE ON DESK TO DEFEAT THIS SCOURGE. I HAIL GENERAL BUHARI AND PRESIDENT GEJ. LONG LIVE NAIJA.
