STATE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE

PRESIDENT JONATHAN CONDEMNS TERRORIST ATTACK ON FRENCH MAGAZINE

President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, the Federal Government and people of Nigeria extend heartfelt condolences to President Francois Hollande and the people of France as they mourn the victims of yesterday's dastardly terrorist attack.

President Jonathan and Nigeria join the rest of the civilized world in condemning the heinous, senseless and totally unjustifiable killing of journalists and other persons during the attack on the satirical magazine, Charlie Hebdo.

The President believes that the cowardly and ignoble attack by violent extremists is a monstrous assault on the right to freedom of expression.

President Jonathan also sees the attack on Charlie Hebdo as another manifestation of the depravity and brutality which the world has to contend with in what must become a truly collective effort by lovers of peace, progress and freedom across the globe to rout the agents of darkness and retrogression

The President assures President Hollande and the people of France that Nigeria stands in full solidarity with them on this day of national mourning for those who lost their lives at the hands of terrorists in Paris yesterday.

Noting that France has been a strong ally and dependable partner in strengthening regional cooperation in the fight against terrorism in Nigeria, West Africa and Africa as a whole, President Jonathan pledges that his administration will continue to work with the French government and other friendly governments in all continents to end the scourge of global terrorism.

President Jonathan urges media practitioners worldwide not to be discouraged or disheartened by the brutal murder of their colleagues in Paris yesterday, but to remain strong and fearless in pursuit of truth and the defence of human rights and freedom of expression.

The President prays that God almighty will comfort the people of France, especially the bereaved families and grant speedy recovery to all those who were injured in yesterday's attack.

Nice one.

He should go and take a crash course on leadership from the french president. The french government is working hard to catch those men and bring them to justice not sending a political lackey to go and tell the world that somebody wants to distabilize the government.

I condemn it too...

If there is one thing Jonathan know how to do well it is making "condolences"...can't even count the number of "condolences" he's made in just 2014 alone.

New year now, he's already sending condolences...the man can't do no sh*t for anybody.

I pray Jonathan will not pay condolence to any of us or our family or our country for that matter...did I hear somebody say amen?

Just in case you about to make a reference to my signature, "I never believed in him cos I knew he's gonna fail, I swear on my ancestors!"

Nice one...but did he condemn the attack which killed 2000people in Baga Borno state??

Africans always seeking romance with the west that doesn't seem to care about your existence.

The same France that denied us weapons. Can't blame them thou, they're like dog on leash whose master says no hunting. Let 'em keep whoring Nigeria to people who don't give a sh*t.

12 people killed and iffu see how these people cherished them heen,,even had to declear a day of mourning for the victims.....that cant happen in nja,,,dem die dem die b dat....we all clamoring for change,it shld start from us...

The international press are reporting that 2000 people were killed in baga a few days ago. He has not said anything about it

jonathan needs to tackle his own share in borno and leave the french to do their own business yeye man. presidents dey condemn jonathan sef comot dey talk special failure. abeg comot make we see road Febuhari go soon displace you.

Misplaced priority, is france looking for sympathy from him

Those that lose their lives daily to BH, has he sympathized with them

Yet he decides to sympathize with a country faraway leaving his own burning backyard...Yeye dey smell

Just remembered how Pres Jona condemns the Bomb blast in Jabi park...
