Jonathan: we must win war against insurgency

President Goodluck Jonathan has reaffirmed the determination and commitment of the Federal Government to win the fight against all forms of terrorism, particularly those being perpetrated by the Boko Haram sect.
He, however, stressed that to win the war, it would require the cooperation of the citizens, urging support for the government.
The president stated this at the inauguration of the Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial Foundation (SABMF) office building in Kaduna.
He was represented by the Honourable Minister of Special Duties and Inter-governmental Affairs and Supervising Minister of Labour and Productivity, Kabiru Tanimu Turaki SAN.
Jonathan reiterated that the security and welfare of the Nigerians is paramount to his administration, adding that it would do all it takes to achieve it.
“Nigeria is indeed faced with several challenges particularly that of security. But I want to assure Nigerians that no matter how long it takes, the war against all forms of insurgency is a must win.
“The cooperation of all Nigerians is however solicited in the fight against insurgency for it to succeed”, he stressed.
On the late Saduana of Sokoto, President Jonathan said: “Sir Ahamadu Bello left indelible footprints in the sand of time. Today, close to half a century of his demise, his image has continued to loom larger than life. He is humility personified, who lived a life dedicated to service.
“As one of the founding fathers of this great nation, Sir Ahmadu Bello, along with other great nationalists, toed the path of dialogue and peaceful decolonisation of Nigeria.
“The late Sir Ahmadu Bello will never be forgotten for his legacies and love for his dear country and people, which he lived and died for. He built a solid foundation for both the north and Nigeria”
