British soldier, Drummer Lee Rigby

President Goodluck Jonathan has expressed shock over the gruesome murder of a British soldier, Drummer Lee Rigby of the 2nd Battalion, Royal Regiment of Fusiliers in the Woolwich area of London, United Kingdom.

A statement on Thursday by Reuben Abati, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity said the president, while condemning the unfortunate incident, conveys his sincere condolences to the British Prime Minister, David Cameron and the British people over the senseless and barbaric act.

“President Jonathan notes that a terrorist attack anywhere is an attack on the way of life of all free nations and must be collectively condemned by all persons irrespective of race, ethnicity or religion.

“It is in this spirit that the Nigerian government is partnering with the British Government, as well as all other stakeholder sovereigns to stand up to and fight terrorism and extremism in whatever guise or pretence it chooses to present itself.

“President Jonathan recognizes that each environment presents its own unique challenges and peculiarities and actions taken by affected nations may differ, yet the resolve to confront and defeat this threat should never be in doubt.

“President Jonathan says Nigerians are collectively resolute about the need to protect the freedoms that define our existence and inter-relationships at home and overseas. Our recent past tells us that when we pull together, this common enemy and threat will eventually be defeated,” the statement added.
