Jonathan condemns explosions.
President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday condemned the explosions at the St. Theresa’s Catholic Church, Madalla, Niger State; Jos, Plateau State; and Damaturu, Yobe State.
In a statement yesterday by his Special Adviser on Media Dr Reuben Abati, the President described the bombing of innocent citizens on a day millions of people all over the world are celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ as a dastardly act that must attract the rebuke of all peace-loving Nigerians.
“These acts of violence against innocent citizens are an unwarranted affront on our collective safety and freedom,” the President said, adding that “Nigerians must stand as one to condemn them.”
President Jonathan, the statement said, expressed his heartfelt condolences to the churches and families who lost their loved ones to the attacks. “I ask God, in His infinite mercies, to grant these innocent souls eternal rest, and give their families the fortitude to bear this painful loss,” he said.
Regretting that the unfortunate incident has spoiled the celebratory mood across the land, the President assured Nigerians that his government remained resolute in resolving the security challenges that confront the nation.
“I want to reassure all Nigerians that Government will not relent in its determination to bring to justice all the perpetrators of today’s acts of violence and all others before now,” the President said.
