President Goodluck Jonathan on Monday promised that no matter how long it takes, his administration would ensure that all those responsible for the death of many students in a bomb attack on Government Science Secondary School, Potiskum, Yobe State, are brought to justice.

He said the same fate awaits all those behind continuing acts of terrorism across the country.

Jonathan said this in a statement made available to journalists by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati.

He extended his commiserations to the government and people of Yobe State on the death of the students.

He also sympathised with all parents who lost their children in the attack.

The statement read in part, “The President condemns the dastardly murder of the students on their school’s assembly ground as they prepared to begin another week of study in pursuit of a better life for themselves and their families.

“He assures the grieving parents and people of Yobe state that no matter how long it takes, the Federal Government will ensure that all those responsible for the senseless murder of so many promising youngsters and the continuing acts of terrorism across the country are brought to justice and made to pay for their atrocious crimes.

“The President similarly assures all Nigerians that in spite of seeming setbacks, his Administration remains fully committed to winning the war against insurgency and terrorism.

“Nigeria, President Jonathan affirms, will ultimately overcome the current security challenges imposed by domestic terrorists and their foreign allies, with the dedication of its Armed Forces and national security agencies, as well as the continued support and cooperation of all patriotic citizens.”

RIP to the dead.

Goodluck Ebele Jonathan remains my Mentor but with these recent happenings, I tend to agree he is indeed clueless

Abeg punch,no lie to Mr president, he don't even know it happen.

Story

MR PRESIDENT how many times have you talk about bringing perpetrators to justice for crying out loud. And up on till now no Justice has been served. IN THIS YOUR GOVERNMENT. well that a story for the GODS....

The minimum i expect from Jonathan today is a broadcast even if he chooses not the fly the national flag half way to commiserate with these innocent kids family. But he doesnt give a damn, few hours time he will be smiling all over or dancing.

God help us.
