President Goodluck Jonathan has expressed hope that with unity and peace, what Nigeria passes through as a nation can only be overcome by prayers.

"What we are passing through as nation can be overcome with prayers.

The Vice President and other government functionaries are committed to the transformation process", the president said when Vice President Namadi Sambo and FCT Minister, Mr. Bala Mohammed led a delegation of Muslim faithful to pay him homage for the Eid-El-Fitr Sallah celebration at his residence at the presidential villa, Abuja,

Noting that, to progress, there must be unity and peace in the country, Jonathan said, "For us to progress, we must unite, for us to progress,there must have peace". Today is a great day, it is a moment not just for muslims but all Nigerians to reflect on the unity of Nigeria".
Claded in a milk colour babariga and a cap to match, Jonathan promised to build on the effort of founding fathers of Nigeria to the enviable level, adding that "this is a forum to tell Nigerians that we are one".

Earlier, Vice President Sambo thanked the president for all he has been doing to move the country forward, just a he prayed God for good health and wisdom for him to transform Nigeria
He recalled his visit to Saudi Arabia for the Lesser Hajj, saying Nigerians have been praying for the President, peace and stability of the country.
"We will continue to support you Mr. President to deliver the transformation agenda. We assure you of our loyalty and we pray that this country will be transformed under your leadership", Sambo added.

Biggyd2: Yes, we have been praying Sir. Infact our knees are now sore from kneeling. We are still praying but we understand that our prayers should be backed up with acts from our government. Why won't the government provide us with the security that it promised us? I am sure that if your promise before election was that Nigerians will get security by "simply praying", you wouldn't have been voted President of the FRN!

ubandire: Just a minute,QUE:Has the FG not been providing us with the security it promised us,look around you,apart from Boko haram which it is fighting with everything it has got,and has even gone as far condescending to the level of negotiating with them,just for peace to reign,i mean how do you stop a man from blowing up himself with a bomb he made in his KITCHEN,anyway where I leave there is security,if those mallus want to continue blowing themselves up they can be my guests,when it comes to theft,random kidnapping,cult war or clash,what are your state governors doing,do you know how much they each collect every month as security votes,what do they do with it,are they not the c.s.o's of their various states,that is the more reason why I am in the support of the disintegration of the Nigerian Police (NP) into state police,that way we as Nigerans get to understand that we are supposed to also hold our state governors responsible for our security,the FG should also be held responsible for security but the governors need to do their part also.the FG as long as it is in control of the apparatus of the NP should do more to ensure security and move this country forward..................WE PRAY THEE LORD ANSWER OUR PRAYERS,FOR IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME WE HAVE PRAYED.AMEN............

redsun: If you like put jesus in aso rock,nothing will change until nigerians really understand what not very commom sense means.

cyril83: This he goat shud jst stop mentioning nigeria, very soon nigeria shall become history, Divided we stand,United wil fall

swing4real: If Jonathan actually said this then he is a big fool

lacasa: Jona himself needs prayers ϯo work
