First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, has called on Nigerians to join her husband in the fight against terrorism.
According to her, “terrorism can defeat anyone including my husband, President Goodluck Jonathan, if he fights alone, because terrorism cannot defeat us collectively.”
She made this clarion call at the 44th Birthday celebration of the National Coordinator of the Oodua People’s Congress, OPC, organized by Mr. Gani Adams, and held in Ikeja, Lagos.
The First Lady, who was represented by Senior Special Assistant to the President on Youths and Student matters, Mr. Jude Imagwe, said that addressing the insecurity in the country was a shared responsibility.
She said, “I want to thank all Nigerians but as I appreciate your effort, I must remind you that you all have a responsibility to play in the security challenges facing this country.”
Prominent dignitaries at the event include: Mr Joseph Evah, Coordinator, Ijaw Monitoring Group, Chief Shina Williams, Special Adviser on Culture to Governor Kunle Amosun of Ogun State, Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, represented by Basorun Akinade.

Dis Boko Haram are only after making Johnathan luk incapable of ruling again thereby making d masses nt to vote for Johnathan come 2015. Nigeria is nt meant for the Northerner alone, no matter d catastrophe dey want to cause so dat power will return to dem will never work. I'll rather be a Goodluck support than let dis animals rule again. Ur turn will come bk to u in 2050's

'if our leaders, whom we elected into power, can humble themselves, recognize they are powerless and helpless and pray and fast, put bigmanlity aside and turn to God as they turn from their wicked ways, then God will hear in Heaven and forgive our sins as a nation and heal our land, come to our aid to deliver us from Boko Haram
