Goodluck Jonathan... 14th President of Nigeria. He was Governor of Bayelsa State from 9 December 2005 to 28 May 2007, and was sworn in as Vice President on 29 May 2007. Jonathan is a member of the ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP). He is a lover of nifty hats, which makes him easily recognizable unless someone else in the room is wearing a neat chapeau...
has vowed to go after the perpetrators and bring them speedily to justice.
In a reaction to the incident through a statement issued in Abuja on Saturday by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, the president also condoled the media for the loss of Channels Television news hound, Enenche Akogwu, in the incident.
"As a responsible government, we will not fold our hands and watch enemies of democracy, for that is what these mindless killers are, perpetrate unprecedented evil in our land," he said.
While he re-assured Nigerians, the international community and members of the Fourth Estate of the Realm that all those involved in that dastardly act would be made to face the full wrath of the law, he expressed his condolences to all victims, including the management and staff of Channels Television whose employee he said was reportedly shot and killed while on duty during the exchange of fire between men and officers of the Nigeria Police and the cut-throats at the Farm Centre Police Station, Kano.
President Jonathan, who said he was greatly saddened by the incident which led to the loss of lives of innocent Nigerians, pledged to get to the root of the incident while assuring all Nigerians, that "those behind these acts of terrorism would be made to face the full wrath of the law."
