President Goodluck Jonathan has thanked Nigerians for their support for the state of emergency declared last week in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa States.

Senior Special Assistant to the President, Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe, made this known in a statement on Sunday.

The statement read, “President Goodluck Jonathan has expressed gratitude to all Nigerians for the overwhelming support they have given to the declaration of state of emergency in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states. The President also thanked the leadership of the National Assembly and many of its members, who have through calls and personal visitations, given solidarity and support for this extraordinary step taken by the President in order to halt the mindless killings, bombings and general insecurity that had prevailed in that part of the country.

“The President also notes with gratification the positive disposition and understanding of the governors of the federation, especially the Northern Governors Forum, Leaders and Elders in the North, traditional rulers, religious leaders, cultural and political groups nationwide, including opposition political parties, civil society organisations and the media.

Okupe said the President was appreciative of the efforts, loyalty, commitment and sacrifice of members of the armed forces and other security agencies, who had demonstrated commendable patriotism and gallantry in compliance with the order of the Commander-in Chief.

Okupe further stated, “Mr. President also appreciates the encouragement by members of the diplomatic corps and international community, and promises that as a disciplined force, members of the Armed Forces will operate according to acceptable international rules of engagement and will pay particular attention to the safety and well-being of the citizens of the affected states during this period of emergency rule.

“Mr. President also notes that the efforts of the Armed Forces have already started yielding positive results, as available information confirm that the insurgents have been dislodged from their previous safe havens and camps, while many have been apprehended, and their activities in the affected states have been brought to a total halt.”

Humble GEJ thanking us for our support. Oh you're welcome sir. We're also returning thanks to you for grabing at the horn of the bull and defending the poor masses. What a humble man! Fresh water 2015. I can't wait to drink

good news

It is only unfortunate that this campaign is "anti North" in the eyes of the Jihardists.

Let no man think that this will bring peace to Nigeria.
It is a matter of time and Nigeria will surely split.

and if Nigeria doesnt split? and if it brings peace to Nigeria?

What will you do? Kill yourself I hope.

We thank God

Good. Nigeria CAN NOT become an islamic country. This Jihadists have massacred families, made widows and orphans out of many. They should not be spared. I believe if Jonathan tackles this issue efficiently, it would be an added advantage for him in 2015. Who ever hates and wants to break Nigeria would die, rot in grave and Nigeria would remain.
God loves Nigeria.
God bless Nigeria.

k

Today lets offer prayers and applaud the men and women battling insurgents from Bayelsa to Nassarawa , from Borno to Yobe, from Katsina to Kano. Staying awake for us to sleep. taking the battle to the enemies so we can live a normal life. These are the real men with balllllls. Not the cowards that attack defenseless people and scurry away to hide. God bless Nigerian Army. God bless Nigeria.

Goodwork Nigerian army,but what about this Network Wahala,how can we reach our people out there? Lord have your way in Maiduguri and Nigeria atlarge.
