The President in a broadcast marking 15 years of democracy
in the country has vowed to wage a total war against terrorism and do
everything to rescue the school girls kidnapped at Chibok. He also promised to rid Nigeria of terrorists.
He, however, said his government was willing to keep its doors open to the
terrorists for dialogue and reconciliation, ‘if they renounce terrorism and
embrace peace’.
“I am determined to protect our democracy, our national
unity and our political stability, by waging a total war against terrorism. The
unity and stability of our country and the protection of lives and property are
non-negotiable. I have instructed our security forces to launch a full-scale
operation to put an end to the impunity of terrorists on our soil.
“I have also authorized the security forces to use any means
necessary under the law to ensure that this is done. I assure you that Nigeria
will be safe again, and that these thugs will be driven away – it will not
happen overnight, but we will spare no effort to achieve this goal.
“I have no doubt that, with the support of Nigerians, our neighbours
and the international community, we will reinforce our defence, free our girls
and rid Nigeria of terrorists.”
