President Goodluck Jonathan has said he will “appreciate to have Boko Haram as my good friends.”
President Jonathan said this on Tuesday, when he delivered his address at the foundation-laying ceremony of Para-military Villages Housing Scheme Development project at Kyami District, along Airport Road, Abuja.
The president’s statement elicitedhysterical laughter from the audience on the occasion, as it exudes the confidence of someone winning the war against the sect.
He particularly commended the Minister of Interior, Comrade AbbaMoro, for the initiative, saying thehousing scheme would further provide a secure environment for the para-military personnel and their families.
“When you talk of para-military services, some people don’t even know that is the constituency I belong. I started work with government after my school certificate as a Preventive Officer with the then Department of Custom and Exercise. They were called Custom police then. That is where I started my career. So I’m one of them.”
Jonathan added, “that is why I’m quite pleased to participate in today’s event of foundation laying ceremony of the paramilitary village housing scheme being undertaken jointly by the Ministry of Interior and Byuan Resources Ltd.”
While also commending Comrade Moro for taking steps to actualise the first phase of the project, Jonathan said the initiative was a direct furtherance of the Federal Government’s determination to maximise the potential of the public private partnership in improving the well-being of Nigerians and addressing major national challenges.
He noted that shelter was recognised globally as one of the primary needs of every human being, adding that the provision of quality, accessible and affordable housing “is a core priority of this administration.”
Jonathan said both the national and urban housing policies were specifically developed and implemented to accomplish this important objective.
He stressed that his administration had identified clearly that the private sector remained key to the success of the development agenda of the administration and would encourage partnership with private investors.
President Jonathan also disclosed on the occasion the determination of the Federal Government to recapitalise the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria (FMBN) and strengthen the Federal Ministry of Lands and Urban Development, Federal Housing Authority and all other institutions of the government in the building sector.
He added that considering the centrality of their roles towards actualisation of the overall objectives of the government, “these institutions will sustain with greater vigour the implementation of existing policies on housing and urban renewal.”
He said the Federal Government was more determined to bridge the existing gap between the housing needs and the availability.
According to him, “there is no doubt that on completion, this project will boost the morale, productivity, security and welfare of the beneficiaries.”
Minister of Interior, Comrade Moro, in his remark, disclosed thatMessrs Byuan Resources Ltd had already acquired parcels of land in24 state capitals of the federation,including FCT, for the execution ofthe housing project.

After watching charles logan in jack bauer's 24, gej is no clueless. He is on his way to becoming a tyrant, and we are giving him a triumphant entry. I like the part where he shipped the wife for treatment n she became very quiet n organized. Azazi n all, u will know its no accident. He said pdp is boko haram... Without been agitated. Now, he says he would em to be his friend's. He is using a shadowy separatist group within d evil machinery. Let's as ourselves... Who gains and who suffers.. Check out allocation for security now and George Bush will be a learner on Iraq affair.

When Osama killed innocent people in 9/11,he was declared an enemy of d state,n he was brot down

If Buhari had said dis,I wonder wat people will say

Nigerians are easily bought,cos of sentiment,they 4get d fact dat fg knows d sponsors of dis people,n they know their leaders,bt they will want play it a way dat they wil score political points,irrespective of lives lost.

Guy, yours is prejudice and beaf for the president.
I am not his fan and always register •̸Ϟ•̸y displeasure at his unfavorable policies but let's criticize objectively and not be blinded by hate.
•̸Ϟ•̸y take on his statement is that he is still interested in a peaceful resolution of the northern crisis and would prefer boko haram to work together constructively with him peacefully.
BTW, I didn't vote for him or plan to again, I'm just trying to keep it real.

If he really improves power supply and keep it steady, reduce fuel price like some countries are doing and ensure all those involved in subsidy, capital market and various pension fraud are brought to book; I.e wrap up the cases, then I may strongly consider voting him even if he spends quarter of the budget on his region and help himself to some.

Boko Haram, GEJ is extending his hand of Friendship to you. Grab it while the offer lasts.

Have he tried facebook?

How would the United States have looked if they had extended an arm of Friendship to Osama instead of blowing his head off and dumping his worthless body in the middle of the sea where it rightfully belongs?
