Jonathan begs Northerners, accepts blame over Boko Haram!

President Good luck Jonathan on Thursday released this letter which he signed personally. He begged the Northerners in the letter which was titled 'My Dear Arewa Brothers and Sisters'. The letter reads:

“I do understand that my first duty to you at this time is to rid the entire North of the menace of Boko Haram and secure your lives and property. You and I know that nothing in Nigeria’s past prepared us for the unprecedented reign of unmitigated terror, mayhem and destruction which these murderous terrorists have visited on parts of our country.

“The initial slowness in effectively responding to the threat was as a result of the asymmetrical nature of the war on terror and the need for us to properly equip our security agencies for the successful prosecution of the war.

“Given the recent successes recorded by our Armed Forces with your cooperation and patriotic support, the cooperation of our neighbours as well as the laudable gallantry of security agents, I am confident that in the shortest possible time, the menace of Boko Haram would have been eliminated for good.”

As true Nigerians, all we pray for is a free, fair and violence free elections. God bless Nigeria.
