Goodluck and Patience Jonathan

Speaking in a Ramadan message signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Rueben Abati, in Abuja, the President said,  “I urge all lovers of peace and unity to wholly condemn the resurgence of efforts by agents of global terrorism to disunite and destabilise Nigeria by callously instigating violence among religious groups.”

Ramadan Starts Saturday, June 28 – Sultan

In the statement Goodluck Jonathan stressed out that he fully agrees with the Islamic leaders and scholars that no true Muslim at any time, especially during the sacred month of Ramadan, will resort to the mindless killing of innocent people. It expressed the President’s belief that Boko Haram attacks showed that its leaders and members were misguided persons who used religion to commit crimes.

Jonathan has called on all Nigerians, Muslim faithful and non-Muslims, to resist the continuous attempts by Boko Haram to undermine their belief and support for the Nigerian army.  He reaffirmed the military and national security agencies' readiness to deploy maximum efforts towards the elimination of terrorists in the country.

Also President Goodluck Jonathan's wife, Patience Jonathan, in her Ramadan message has urged Muslim women in Africa to spread the culture of peace in their communities.
