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.”
