First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, yesterday, urged Nigerians to support the federal, state and local governments to address the issue of insecurity in the country, saying “terrorism can defeat anyone including my husband, President Goodluck Jonathan, if he fights alone, because terrorism cannot defeat us collectively.”
Mrs. Jonathan made the appeal at the 44th Birthday celebration of the National Coordinator of the Oodua People’s Congress, OPC, Mr. Gani Adams, held in Ikeja, Lagos.
Represented by Senior Special Assistant to the President on Youths and Student matters, Mr. Jude Imagwe, the Firt Lady said that addressing the insecurity in the country is a shared responsibility.
“I want to thank all Nigerians but as I appreciate your effort, I must remind you that you all have a responsibility to play in the security challenges facing this country,” Mrs Jonathan said.
Dignitaries at the event include Coordinator, Ijaw Monitoring Group, Mr Joseph Evah, Special Adviser on Culture to Governor Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State, Chief Shina Williams.
Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi was also represented by Basorun Akinade at the event.
