President Goodluck Jonathan on Sunday said there are concerted efforts by some interest in Nigeria \u00a0to bring down his government.<\/p>\n
Jonathan, at the 2014 Democracy Day Interdenominational Church Service with the theme \u201cLove The Lord\u2026and your Neighbour\u201d in Abuja, described them as evil forces.<\/p>\n
Terror attacks by Boko Haram in some parts of the North, especially the North-East, have led to the death of thousands of people. On April 14, 2014, the sect abducted more than 200 girls from a government college in Chibok, Borno State, a development that brought global attention to the terrorist activities in the country.<\/p>\n
\n
During the service, Jonathan, who touched on sundry \u00a0national issues, said despite the security challenges, Nigeria would continue to move forward.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cYou can imagine if this government had not been facing these distractions within this period, definitely, we would have moved farther than this.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll these distractions are planned to bring this government down and since they failed, terror will also fail.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have been witnessing terror attacks for two years plus, but the Chibok incident has added a major dent on the security of the country. There is nothing God cannot do. With your prayers, our girls will be seen by our security personnel, \u201che said.<\/p>\n
\u201cTerror will not stop this country from progressing. We know that these terrorists are human and they are evil men. Definitely, they are among those we categorise as evil forces.<\/p>\n
\u201cForces of evil will never prevail. Forces of darkness will never prevail. I call on all Nigerians, Christians and non-Christians who pray, to continue to pray and I believe that God is on our side. Forces of evil and darkness will never prevail.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
