President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has summoned members of the National Security Council to a meeting tomorrow at the Presidential Villa against the background of recent events and developments in the country.
The meeting which will be presided over by President Jonathan is scheduled for 1100 hours.
Those expected at the meeting include Vice President Namadi Sambo, the Minister of Defence, Lt.-Gen Aliyu Gusau, the National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd.), the Chief of Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh, the Service Chiefs, the Inspector-General of Police, the Director-General of the State Security Services and the Director-General of National Intelligence Agency.
The meeting of the National
Security Council will be followed at 1300 Hours by an enlarged meeting on
security developments in the country to which President Jonathan has invited State
Governors.
President Jonathan, members of
the National Security Council and the state governors will review the security
situation in the country as well as ongoing national security measures and
operations with a view to determining the best way forward.
President Jonathan reassures
all Nigerians and persons living in the country that the Federal Government remains
very mindful of its responsibility for the safety of their lives and properties
in all parts of Nigeria and will continue to do everything possible to protect
them from the scourge of terrorism and insecurity.
The President is particularly
concerned about the plight of the young Senior Secondary School girls who were
reportedly abducted from their school in Borno State on Monday night and has ordered
the military and national security agencies to deploy maximum efforts towards
rescuing all of the girls and returning them safely to their parents. He welcomes
reports that the military and security agencies have already rescued some of
the girls.
President Jonathan deeply
regrets the pain, sorrow and anguish brought upon many Nigerian families in
recent days as a consequence of recurring security challenges which the nation
is contending with.
The President remains convinced
that with the patriotic commitment and support of all Nigerians, the country will
ultimately overcome its present challenges and move forward in unity and strength.
In this regard, President
Jonathan will be pleased to see all politicians in the country exhibiting
greater responsibility and patriotism by doing more to support his
administration’s sincere efforts to enhance national security rather than
trying to build political capital out of the pain and misery of their
compatriots.

Nigeria is not safe oooo
ReplyDeleteI tell u! Despite d meetings, d buhaha continues...na baba God hand person dey
DeleteThis day and age in Nigeria really saddens me. Look at the complete mayhem and blood shed in the north and people just go on about their lives simply because its not personally affecting them. I think the solution to this problem would be an outright protest of everything. No Nigerian Idol, no MBGN, no Miss Nigeria, no Big Brother, No FIFA, no World Cup, no airing of entertainment, no red carpets, no events, NOTHING! The entire country needs to come together to let our leaders know we are not sitting with our arms folded.People are dying everyday because of political ulterior motives and nobody living outside of the areas affected seems to care. What difference is the Nyanya bombing from other bombings over the last few years? OH, BECAUSE THEY TARGETED THE NATION'S CAPITAL? If that doesn't serve as a wake up call then I don't know what does. Not only are our leaders a problem but they know the average Nigerian won't do a damn thing about it. HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE, LET YOUR VOICES BE HEARD!
DeleteI SERIOUSLY WEEP FOR NIGERIA!
@Alicia says I'm wit u on dis one, dia is no difference btw d bombin in Jos, Kano, Maiduguri, Yola etc n dt of Nyanya, we need to all wake up n do what is needful for peace to return, enough of dis "sufferin n smilin" wt r aall d red carpets n beauty pagents n world cup 4 when we as a people knw no peace?
DeleteAction speaks louder than voice. Something has to be done urgently bcos this is getting out of hand. No peace for the wicked for those behind these killings.

ReplyDeleteNa tooday?I beg I beg I beg,onto the next 1,for all I care,all they do is talk and no actions...Boko Haram can obviously not operate successfully in this country if they don't have supports from the leaders or the Elites in the North,its so sad that Nigerians are casualties of the mindless/unGodly games the political class & leaders are playing u & I are puns in the game,Nigeria needs lots of intelligence to win this war and the unthinkable has to be done,let every1 know Nigeria has a Zero level tolerance for terrorism & any vice that endanger human lives,truly Nigeria is at war with this daily killings and innocent lives been killed daily.

DeleteThe President is particularly concerned about the plight of the young Senior Secondary School girls who were "reportedly"
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean by reportedly.have you not confirmed it?shouldn't that statement be in the present /future continuos as a majority of them are still missing?
In your bid to let us know you are"reportedly" working,you announce such a sensitive meeting.pity this dumb BH are cowards.this is the kind of information that al Qaeda would have used to finish you all.you don't announce the CinC's itinerary like this.granted you didn't mention venue but that's easy to know.
Your announcement is for the sake of drama.the meeting should have held IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE INCIDENCES and NOT after the kano jamboree
U are a useless muslim retard faggot

ReplyDeleteJonathan did you just wake up? Anyway you're only doing this for the press. You have failed Nigeria and the entire world. Shame on you!
ReplyDeleteGod will see u through Mr President....it's not easy,im prayin 4 u n Nigeria
ReplyDeleteLinda,I heard dat dos bokoharam dat kidnapped dos girls wia speaking french language,abeg dey should luk into dis issue very well,let it not be dat its all dis african neighbouring french speaking countries dat r terrorizing us in our own country sponsored by dis politicans...
ReplyDeleteAm really embarrassed by d presidents nonchalant attitude , campaigning barely 24hours of a bomb blast dat took d lives of 88 people. This is d height of inhuman, for those of us in d south chanting power must remain wid us, let's us begin to think twice. First of all our president is not the shoeless boy of yesterday, he. Flys in jets today nd wears not less dan d best shoe ever made, but his conscience has change, imagine a company known as ALUMMINIUM SMELTER COMPANY of nigeria has been awarded to UNited states since last year, has remain shut down nd d masses r dying of idleness, since last year it dis-engaged all its staff multiplying d level of employment, story surrounding it is dat d rift between d president and and Gov of rivers state is behind d delay in handing over process. Why is d president playing number games wid human lives? Why is he playing dumb to d socioeconomic development of our nation? Why is he playing dumb to d rate of unemployment, when there is a smooth way of creating employment, by conducting a competition for d best business proposals than can create not less than 5,000 workforce for each business, CBN can assist tru medium /small scale investment instead of handing over d entire process to Banks which doesn't even give out dis loans to qualifies business proposals without rigorous nd ambiguous process... Enough is enough biko nu. ---_____wendy____
ReplyDeleteI hope the meeting is productive, to me it just look like one of those normal meeting they have been having and nothing comes out of it, i just hope this meeting will bring solution because patriotic Nigerians are tired.... Please Linda keep us updated the outcome of the meeting.. God bless you Linda

Please Tell Abati to fuck off!!! Stupid bastards! Actually, wait - ask him to go fuck his boss too! The idiot of a mumu president was dancing yesterday in Kano state a day after about 200 of his citizens whom he had pledge to protect were killed in a bomb, right under his nose in Abuja. What is Abati referring too by others are taking political advantages, was it not the PDP that went online to spin the bombings to their own political advantage seconds after the bombings happened. The smoke had not even cleared at the bus stop when Metuah started blaming the opposition. Fuck them all. Stupid incompetent, greedy, evil sycophants.
ReplyDeletePsychopath my dear.. Ur welcum

ReplyDeleteJust step down you this badluck Jonathan. Have u not drank enough blood?
ReplyDeleteMumu, very ignorant comment! Commenting like a child in pry 2, smh##
DeleteDuring our prayer meeting in church 2day, we prayed against badluck ebele jonathan winning d election by 2015, president badluck is d worst, dullest n inactive president ever, I pray dey assinate him b4 d election, mumu dull president, no wonder politicians in kano swept off his feet in kano cos he is an mbecile, dis badluck jonsathan is a living corpse, #Useless president, I hate u weakling#
ReplyDeleteU actually went to church to ask God for someone's death? My dear God doesn't ansa such if he's hands are clean and evn he's nt clean, ur nt God. Rephrase dat prayer and while ur @ it! Change ur pathetic name. Nawaa
DeleteFor you to have prayed for GEJ to die, I think you went too far.. And what sort of church do you attend? Am just amazed with the things people vomit at times.. God help us.
DeleteThey will set a panel after that meeting
ReplyDeleteCome to think of it, Nigerians are hardwork
ReplyDeleteBlood will never stop flowing in his house and that of all d wicked fools constantly stealing Nigerians' money
ReplyDeleteGoodluck or wateva he is called is the most dullest human being we lose lives everyday,properties pple go to sleep not knowing wat to expect in d middle of the night or in the early hours of the morning.its so sad who cld have imagined naija will ever become a land of tears and sorrows.God may u deliver us from the hands of Goodluck Jonathan and his cohorts.
ReplyDeleteGoodlick Jonathan no be to put hand for jaw a beg go down from dat seat Nigerians r tired of u, u r the worse president we have ever had Even the late Gen sani Abacha was far better than u.Bloody civilian u r.I tell u soon u shall witness what happened in Libya in Nigeria
ReplyDeleteIt is well mr President ...
ReplyDeleteAfter partying in Kano and Ibadan abi.
ReplyDeleteMr Annonymous, please tell your Oga to bring Rtd Gen Buhari and his cohorts to questioning cause Nigerians would recall that he boasted that if he does not win the last election, that Nigeria would be an ungovernable country and it has been so ever since. It's high time we begin to ask questions, starting with Buhari.
ReplyDeleteI think it's high time we replace the Chief of Customs and Immigration. Cause it's obvious that these people BH are not Nigerians and the custom's and Imigration Service cannot claim ignorant of their entry into Nigeria. This is a big shame to the Country. We are also not ignorant of the proliferation of fire arms in Nigeria. I honestly think it's high time we all arm ourselves for self defense since we now have a failed Nigeria security system.
ReplyDeletePls read this before. We crucify GEJ. Let's come together and save our beloved country Killings in the North, the Region that
ReplyDeleteWants One Nigeria by all
