President Jonathan condemns terror attack in Britain

Find the State House Press Release below...
President Goodluck Jonathan has expressed shock at the terrorist attack and killing of a British soldier, Drummer Lee Rigby of the 2nd Battalion the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers in the Woolwich area of London, United Kingdom; and strongly condemns this unfortunate incident.
He conveys his sincere condolences to the British Prime Minister David Cameron and the British people over this senseless and barbaric act, and shares their grief at this moment.
President Jonathan notes that a terrorist attack anywhere is an attack on the way of life of all free nations and must be collectively condemned by all persons irrespective of race, ethnicity or religion.
It is in this spirit that the Nigerian government is partnering with the British Government, as well as all other stakeholder sovereigns to stand up to and fight terrorism and extremism in whatever guise or pretense it chooses to present itself.

President Jonathan recognizes that each environment presents its own unique challenges and peculiarities and actions taken by affected nations may differ, yet the resolve to confront and defeat this threat should never be in doubt.

President Jonathan says Nigerians are collectively resolute about the need to protect the freedoms that define our existence and inter-relationships at home and overseas. Our recent past tells us that when we pull together, this common enemy and threat will eventually be defeated.

Reuben Abati
Special Adviser to the President

Rubbish......what a useless government. ...what official statement did the president give when aluu4 guys were beaten and burnt to death in port harcourt? One would have expected the president to publicly come out & condemn d act & order a thorough investigation to ensure all parties involved are punished.

Nigerian's in the United Kingdom should speak out and condemn the beheading of a citizen yesterday in UK. The beheading was done by a British citizen and not a Nigerian as speculated, his name does not confirm his nationality. This lunatic was born in the United Kingdom, never been to nigeria, issued a birth certificate in the UK and held a British passport. Suddenly he is now a Nigerian?......This guy is not a Nigerian. British born Michael 'Mujahid' Adeboloja with an accomplice yesterday beheaded a British Soldier on a street in Woolwich, London.Because he is not Gabriel Agbonlahor playing for Aston Villa and Three Lions, or Andrew Osagie, UK's reigning 800m champion, or Lawrence Okoye, British Discus Record Holder (68.24m), or Abiodun oyepitan, British Award Photography Winner Mayor Rotimi Reloaded Of Reloaded Photography, British Olympic Silver and Gold Medalist, or Christine Ohuruogu, Beijing Olympic British Gold Medalist, or Eniola Aluko, British Olympic Female Football star, or Temi Fagbenle British Olympic Basketball queen, or several other thousands of British citizens with Nigerian connection who are making the country proud, it is being made to look like Nigeria has "shown itself again" in the action of that British boy who beheaded a soldier yesterday.Nigeria should just be left out of this.Please pass on to educate the ignorant ones.

If there is a phrase I have gotten used to anytime there is a Terrorist Attack is "President Goodluck Jonathan Condemns the Attack". Actually our able Dr Reuben Abati is always onstand to give a statement stating the above. Anyway I think we as a Nation got to learn from this Terror Attack as per our own Boko Haram.

why should he send out a statement? of course He will be called a "Briton of Nigerian descent"...He is British full stop! It's like calling Obama, An American with Kenyan origin...This is purposeful, He is not Nigerian, maybe his parents were..But HE is not! Nigerians in the United Kingdom should speak out and condemn the beheading of a citizen yesterday in UK. The beheading was done by a British citizen and not a Nigerian as speculated, his name does not confirm his nationality. This lunatic was born in the United Kingdom, never been to nigeria, issued a birth certificate in the UK and held a British passport. Suddenly he is now a Nigerian?......This guy is not a Nigerian. British born Michael 'Mujahid' Adeboloja with an accomplice yesterday beheaded a British Soldier on a street in Woolwich, London. Because he is not Gabriel Agbonlahor playing for Aston Villa and Three Lions, or Andrew Osagie, UK's reigning 800m champion, or Lawrence Okoye, British Discus Record Holder (68.24m), or Abiodun oyepitan, British Olympic Silver and Gold Medalist, or Christine Ohuruogu, Beijing Olympic British Gold Medalist, or Eniola Aluko, British Olympic Female Football star, or Temi Fagbenle British Olympic Basketball queen, or several other thousands of British citizens with Nigerian connection who are making the country proud, it is being made to look like Nigeria has "shown itself again" in the action of that British boy who beheaded a soldier yesterday.

Unknown said...

All these ppl should shut the fuck up! So because this is a terror attack that is why the guy in question is being refered to in ALL media reports as Nigerian/­British
OR British/­Nigerian (whatever3-| )

My ppl do u know that 16 out of the 541 British athletes at the 2012 Olympics Games were Nigerians ?

They are as follows:

Phillips Idowu,
James Dasaolu,
Andrew Osagie,
Lawrence Okoye,
Abdul Buhari,
Abiodun Oyepitan,
Anyika Onuora,
Margaret Adeoye,
Christine Ohuruogu,
Marilyn Okoro,
Eniola Aluko,
Temitope Fagbenle,
Anthony Ogoro,
Anthony Joshua,
Peter Bakare
and Dami Bakare.

All represented Britain at the Olympics and WERE NEVER refered to as Nigerian/­British.

Nigerians !!!

It is time we reject ALL negative being attached to US as a nation
and take pride in our tradition
and culture.

Let the world know that despite our differences and challenges we are good people with kind hearts
and love and with great respect for the human race.

We have in no small way contributed immensely to the world economy. We are energetic
and industrious and no amount of propaganda by the media can take away our PRIDE.

WE ARE NIGERIANS,

I AM A NIGERIAN & PROUD OF IT
and WE SHOULD BE PROUD TO BE A GENUINE AFRICAN BRANDz

Point of correction, d fact dat the guy bears a yoruba name doesn't make him a nigerian, can u call obama a kenyan? He's first known as an American... The stupid guy is british, was born, breed in d English way hasn't even visited my 9ja b4 and am sure is one of those ignorant fools dat don't know where 9ja is... Is high time our press start painting our country right even if I don't blame d press completely... Jonaa please repair ur own home n stop putting ur country down, I no know wetin concern u wey u dey go write letter to d british wen dem don place all 9ja as terrorist. Mtscheeew, even u aunty Linda u were quick to write dat d guy is 9ja make una no dey wash us like dat na rubbish!

Unknown said...

It is really pathetic how we play politics or play to the gallery all the time. The whole press release is just to say - well, terrorist is not only happening in Nigeria, it is everywhere even in the UK. I guess a lazy attitude such as this is responsible for all talk and no action and motion without movement that has become the hallmark of the GEJ administration.

I rest my case for now.

Plz i beg to differ.... dis fella aint Nigeria at all..... he spent all his life their and cuz he has commited a crime he is suddenly a Nigerian. Mr President u are just bin bullied and used.... if we win awards, play games well, run d fastest race, discover things, solve problems and introduce new things dem we are automatically their citizen buh wen tins go haywire we are Nigerians.... for how long will this ignorance go on?

Andrew Osagie, UK's reigning 800m champion is a briton,

Abiodun oyepitan, British Olympic Silver and Gold Medalist is a briton,

Eniola Aluko, British Olympic Female Football star, a Briton Etc..
