President Goodluck Jonathan
President Goodluck Jonathan Thursday called for closer ties among African leaders, with a view to confronting and defeating terrorists and purveyors of hate.
The president spoke in a keynote address on the occasion of the Centenary Conference on the Theme: “Human Security, Peace and Development: Agenda for the 21st Century.”
Jonatha said "while we respect our national boundaries, terrorists move in and out of our borders. It is now time that we agreed as African leaders that acts of terror against one nation is an act of terror against all.
" We must not allow our countries to become safe havens for terrorists. We must cooperate maximally in better managing our political boundaries. We should adopt protocols that allow countries to pursue terrorists well into their safe havens in other nations. While we cannot redefine our borders, we must re-define our collective approach to ending trans-boundary terrorism and insurgencies”, he said
