President Goodluck Jonathan on Friday
admitted his frustration with the
Federal Government’s efforts to tackle
insecurity in some parts of the country,
which he described as being hampered
by sabotage.
The President described the alleged
sabotage as a frustration, occurring both
internally and externally.
But he did not elaborate on whether the
saboteurs are in the government or in
the military.
Addressing a delegation which was led
by an actor, Segun Arinze,
Jonathan said, “One of our greatest
challenges is this insecurity.
We have our frustrations, we have
issues of sabotage: internal and
external, but we are working very hard
and by the grace of God, we will
overcome. ”
Despite the setback, however, the
President assured his visitors that the
efforts being put into the war by his
government would soon yield positive
result.
He admitted that apart from insecurity,
the country is faced with challenges of
infrastructure but assured that they are
all surmountable.
He assured that his administration was
committed to improving the situation in
the areas of transportation, aviation,
ports, roads and power infrastructure.
While lauding members of the
entertainment industry for creating
positive image for the country, Jonathan
regretted that most politicians only
generate negative issues.
He said, “Somebody may just look at
you as entertainers but you are much
more than just the entertainment
industry because you create a positive
image for Nigeria.
Most of us politicians are just busy
generating negative issues. Everyday,
they talk about corruption, governance
and other issues.
It is you that pump the positive news
into the system.”
