President Goodluck Jonathan on Sunday (today) assured Nigerians that his administration is doing everything possible to bring an end to the activities of the Boko Haram insurgents.
He said this while speaking to Christian faithfuls in Abuja when they paid him Easter homage at the Presidential Villa.
He said “Easter is the most important ceremony in Christian faith. Without his resurrection, our faith would have been in vain. His resurrection gives us hope. You will have tribulations but there is hope for you. Today we are marking that resurrection.”
“Yes, as nation, we are having tribulations but surely, Nigeria has hope. Surely, we will overcome these tribulations. Even those who think that this country will divide, those who think the country will be divided into North, South, East and West, no way. Boko Haram will not disintegrate this country.
“Most of you are aware that when Nyanya was bombed, Nigerians from all religions and tribes participated in the evacuation of people who were injured even before security arrived. People donated more blood than is required.
“That shows that no criminal group funded within or outside this country that can separate us. No criminal group will disintegrate this country. Boko Haram will come and go. We are working very hard, we are changing our approaches, God’s willing we will end Boko Haram,” Jonathan said.
“To you my brethren, I thank all of you for your prayers and I promise that myself and those working with me will do our best to bring development to this country. We have challenges. We have issue of unemployment, not too long ago, there was this ugly development at the Immigration Service, because of the level of unemployment and partial employment.”
“Some are doing jobs that do not meet their qualifications, they are partially employed. So when you talk of employment in Customs or Immigration, you will see everybody rushing there.”
