Jonathan Vows To Ensure Normalcy Is Restored To Every Part Of Nigeria

President Goodluck Jonathan has vowed that his administration would not relent in its fight against terrorism, until normalcy was restored in every part of the country.
President Jonathan who was represented by the Senate President, David Mark, said this in Abuja at a special interdenominational service to mark Nigeria's Democracy Day.
Jonathan expressed satisfaction at the extent of
achievement of the Special Forces fighting the
Boko Haram insurgency in the three states of
Adamawa, Borno and Yobe, and promised that
the operation would end once terrorists were
completely rooted out.
"Report reaching me indicates that our security
forces are painstakingly reversing the negative
trend of insurgency in the three affected states
and their environs. I want to assure Nigerians
that this administration is up to the task and we
will not relent until peace and normalcy returns
to the affected states. We will return sanity and
peace to the streets of Nigeria, and we will defeat
all the threats to our corporate existence.
"My prayer to the family of our brave service
men and women and all those who have lost
their lives during the internal crisis in the
nation, their memory will linger on in our hearts
and to the unfortunate victims of the family, the
churches, the mosques and those who lost
possessions to the attack by insurgency, as a
great nation, let me assure you that we will stand
by you".
Also speaking at the service, Director of National
Issues of Christians Association of Nigeria, Revd
William Okoye, noted that the country found
itself in the present situation, because of the
decline in societal values.
"The declining of societal values largely
responsible for collection of conflicts, we
witnessed in our lives. The churches will address
moral decay in our society, by launching all
denominational campaign for the restoration of
values."
