Jonathan “strongly condemns the bomb blasts in Jos, Plateau State, today, describing the perpetrators of this tragic assault on human freedom as cruel and evil,” Abati said in the release.
He “assures all Nigerians that government remains fully committed to winning the war against terror, and this administration will not be cowed by the atrocities of enemies of human progress and civilization.” The President further “extends his heartfelt sympathies to the affected families and persons.”
He also “expressed Nigeria’s deepest appreciation to the international community on the success of the recent Summit in Paris on the security situation in Nigeria hosted by the President of France, H.E.
