President Goodluck Jonathan has decried attacks on members
of the nation’s security services, noting that what they need from Nigerians is
appreciation and not unnecessary criticism.
“All nations respect their military and their intelligence
services because without these people, we wouldn't have been here. Without
these people, there wouldn't have been any Nigeria.
“What keeps us together as a nation is the activities of
these people. I use this opportunity to call on
Nigerians to continue to show
gratitude and appreciation to our security services” he said.
The president who spoke while hosting widows of the nation’s
fallen heroes said Nigerians must learn to respect members of the nation’s
security forces because the security men were on the streets making sacrifices
while other Nigerians sleep in their houses.
The president said he decided to host the widows because his
government appreciated their husbands who paid the supreme prices while
securing the nation.
“Most of you (the widows) would have been surprised that why
should the President call us here.
It has not happened before. This is the
first time that the President would be interacting with the wives of the fallen
heroes
“We appreciate the services of your husbands, your fathers,
within the armed forces and other security agencies because we sleep while they
are in fears and while protecting the nation some of them paid the supreme
sacrifice.
“That is why I personally get worried when some public utterances
that are not expected are made of them” the president said
