PRESIDENT Goodluck Jonathan has insisted that Nigerians will not surrender to terrorists who have recently compounded the security challenges facing the country.
He also reiterated the commitment of his administration to winning the war on terror within the shortest possible, urging the people not to buckle under the threat of the brainwashed agents of anarchy.
In his message issued in Abuja on Saturday to mark the occasion of Eid-el-Fitri, the president encouraged Nigerians to remain resolute in defense of freedom, peace and unity of the country.
“Although the observance of the Holy Month was sadly tainted in parts of the country with the continuing atrocities of extremists and terrorists in our midst, I urge all patriotic Nigerians to remain strong and resolute in defense of freedom, unity, law and order, peace, security and progress of the nation.
“I feel the pains and anguish of all our compatriots who have experienced the harrowing impact of terrorism unleashed on them by brainwashed and misguided agents of evil and disunity, but we must never throw up our hands in helplessness and despair as the terrorists and purveyors of anarchy want.
The president prayed that as the nation celebrates Eid-el-Fitri, Ramadan’s spiritual lessons and the Holy Prophet’s teachings of piety, love, justice, fairness, equity, peaceful co-existence with others, tolerance, honesty and dedication to duty will remain with all for the benefit and greater glory of the nation.
