The News Agency of Nigeria reported that Jonathan stated this on Friday in Abuja at the public presentation of a research report titled ‘Terrorism and Banditry: The Nexus’; conducted by the Goodluck Jonathan Foundation
Jonathan, who is the chairman of the foundation, said the challenges posed by banditry, terrorism and other associated crimes threatened human essence and the essential values of the nation’s democracy and nationhood.
He said, “Our pursuit of peace cannot be achieved in isolation of the pursuit of justice and other human security needs.
“This is so because peace is the bridge that links poverty to prosperity, reconciles hope with despair and imposes order on chaos.
“There is no doubt that our nation is plagued by many crises and these challenges have continued to threaten our fate and shared destinies.”
He added, “We have lost our loved ones, lost millions of properties and investment because of insecurity.
