President Goodluck Jonathan says his administration is committed and focused in keeping Nigeria united and peaceful. Jonathan said this in Yenagoa on Saturday during the 2nd Bayelsa Thanksgiving Day anniversary. The event, which took place at the mainbowl of the Samson Siasia Sports Complex, had Governor Seriake Dickson; American human rights activist, Revd. Jesse Jackson; prominent cleric, Uma Ukpai, and a host of eminent personalities in attendance. Jonathan, represented by Minister of Police Affairs, Navy Capt. Caleb Olubolade (retd.), said meaningful development could only take place in an atmosphere of peace and stability. The President, who commended Dickson for his leadership and initiative for instituting a thanksgiving day in the state, emphasised the need to thank God at all levels of government for His divine protection and guidance. Jonathan said, “With what the state government is doing in terms of projects and programmes, the Bayelsa Government is keying into the transformation agenda of the Federal Government, which I believe the benefits of these will definitely turn things around quickly for the better. “On my part as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, I will remain committed and focused to keeping Nigeria united and peaceful under the banner of God who made it possible for me to be here as your elected President in that free and fair election.” posted on November 03, 2013 at 08:30PM jtnng.blogspot/
