"Then you will know the truth,..............”

SPEECH BY PRESIDENT GOODLUCK JONATHAN AT THE 12TH SESSION OF THE ISLAMIC SUMMIT CONFERENCE CAIRO, EGYPT 6TH – 7TH FEBRUARY 2013 (Abridged)

Your Excellency, Mohammed Morsi
President of the Arab Republic of Egypt and Chairman of the 12th Islamic Summit Conference
Secretary-General, Organisation of the Islamic Conference
Distinguished Delegates

Ladies and Gentlemen,

1. On behalf of myself and my Colleagues from the Africa Group, it is an honour for me to address the 12th Summit of the Organisation of Islamic Conference, holding here in Cairo, the capital city of Egypt which is widely acclaimed as the cradle of civilization.

2. I wish to convey my sincere appreciation to President Morsi, the Government and people of the Arab Republic of Egypt for the generous hospitality extended to me and my delegation since our arrival; and for the excellent arrangements made for this Summit. I wish also, to congratulate him on his election as the Chairman of this Summit. We are confident that his acknowledged leadership qualities will go a long way in supporting the active role, which the Organisation has been playing on the global scene.

5. The successful implementation of the poverty alleviation programmes is highly commendable. Equally so is the progress made in the domain of expanding intra-OIC trade, which has risen from 14.5% in 2005 to 17.71% in 2011.

7. While commending the various OIC institutions for their active contributions to these achievements, I wish to announce Nigeria’s support for the proposal to increase the authorized capital of the Islamic Development Bank (IDB) from its present US$30 Billion to about US$50. It is our sincere belief that this new increase will assist the Bank, as it seeks to actualize the objectives for which this specialized OIC institution was established.

10. Mr. Chairman, since our last Summit, the global political and economic landscapes have presented additional challenges for which our Organisation has been called upon to address. The global financial and food crises reached their peaks during this period and left their impacts on the economies of our countries.

18.I thank you for your kind attention.

DR GOODLUCK EBELE JONATHAN, GCON, GCFR
President, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

So Jona knows the road to OIC now?
Later they'll say Buhari wants to Islamize Nigeria

And they keep saying Buhari wants to Islamize Nigeria. Nonsense.

He should have used the opportunity to talk about the tide of Islamic insurgency that was plaguing Nigeria.

He only brushed a little on small and light arms, when Boko Haram was here bombing and wielding heavy weaponry

No wonder McCain called him ''some guy/dude''.
