A senior aide of President Goodluck Jonathan,Comrade Jude Imagwe, has advised Nigerian youths to rise  against the scourge of terrorism, as their future depends on peaceful co-existence of Nigerians, irrespective of faith and race.

The President‘s Senior Special Assistant on Youth and Student Matters made the call in a statement issued on Tuesday, in Abuja. He charged youths and student leaders to rise and defend the integrity of the nation, as latest development has “exceeded all bounds of rationale and measure.

“The time has come for all true stakeholders in the Nigerian project to rise against the menace of terrorism,” he said, affirming that,  “if Nigerian youths and students could rescue Nigeria from the hands of the military, surely, they can rescue her from the hands of the terrorists.”

Comrade Imagwe, who lamented the consequences of terrorism on Nigeria, further listed three steps Nigerian youths are to take to rescue the nation from terrorism, adding, “we must prepare ourselves intellectually and spiritually, by jointly imbibing the codes of truth, until we can no longer be  divided by bizarre logic of religious and ethnic jingoism.

“We must take possession of government’s transformation agenda authoritatively; and within its confines, define Nigeria in the nearest future. We must courageously proceed to the second phase of our battle plan, which is to get the leaders on our side,” he said.
