I will visit Chibok but does that solve the problem?" - Pres. Jonathan

At a press conference for the Regional Security Summit that held in
France yesterday, President Jonathan explained why he hasn't visited
the Chibok community, the school or parents of the missing girls...

"The school is owned by the State Government but it is the commitment
of the Federal government to rebuild the school, build walls to
protect it and provide facilities since it is predominantly a school
that takes care of girls education so that the girls would be
protected. Yes I will visit Chibok, no doubt about that but what we
are anxious about now is to locate the girls. These girls are not held
in Chibok. If the President goes to Chibok today, does that solve any
problem? Maybe psychological problem or for media relevance but you
have not solved the problem. The problem facing the President and
indeed the Nigerian government is to get these girls from wherever
they are" he said See pics of President Jonathan at the summit[above]

President Jonathan is currently at the Elysee Palace in Paris, France
where him and other African leaders including presidents of Niger,
Cameroon, Chad and Benin, with the President of France are
brainstorming on how to tackle the problem of insecurity in the
continent. Here are five quotes the President made during his
presentation at the summit

1. "This is not anymore a challenge to Nigeria alone; it is a threat
to each and every one of us"

2. "This latest attack is a wake up call for allof us. A line has been
drawn in the sand, a test is put to each of us"

3. "Nigeria will rise up to this challenge and prevail. I call upon
each one of you to stand up and be counted with us"

4."An attack on one country is an attack on all of us and our common humanity."

5. "We will not succumb to terrorists and their dangerous
tactics.Terrorists will not be allowed to define who we are"
