Jonathan

President Goodluck Jonathan has frowned at the terrorists’ attacks in Kano and Adamawa States as well as the kidnap of the Lamido of Kolofata in Northern Cameroon, Lamido Seini Lamine and the wife of the Vice Prime Minister of Cameroon.
Presidential spokesman, Reuben Abati, in a statement sent to SHOWBIZPLUSng, said Jonathan “describes as shocking, callous and reprehensible the multiple bomb blasts that occurred in Kano within 24 hours, and the unrelenting attacks by the Boko Haram at a time the Muslim faithful are observing the holy festival of Eid el Fitri.”
Abati also said th

e President “commiserates with the families of all those who lost their loved ones in the Kano and Adamawa attacks and wishes the injured speedy recovery.”
He added that “President Jonathan further notes that the deployment of young women as suicide bombers represents a new low in the inhuman campaign by these
terrorists and an expression of utter disregard for the dignity of the
female gender as well as a wicked exploitation of the girl-child.
“The President states that the abduction of the Lamido of Kolofata and the
wife of the Vice premier of Cameroon clearly underscores the regional
security threat that Boko Haram has become.
“He welcomes the recent resolve by the Defence Ministers of Nigeria,
Cameroon, Chad, Benin and Niger to further strengthen existing partnerships
in order to forestall the desperate attempt by misguided elements to turn
the sub-region into a battleground for terrorism and radical extremism.
“President Jonathan urges the security forces to remain resolute, and not be
discouraged by the desperation of the agents of evil.  He believes that
with the continued cooperation between Nigeria’s security forces and their
counterparts in neighbouring countries, the war against terror will surely
be won.”
