According to a reliable source, President Jonathan thanked God for saving him from the ugly incident unhurt and stretched out a fellowship call to him and other Nigerians to join hands with the government to fight this Munster call Boko Haram and ensure it does not exist again in the country.
The call, which was made late on Wednesday night, was, according to the sources, aimed at reassuring the General that the president was concerned about his safety as well as that of any other Nigerian.
“The president was really touched at the mishap in Kaduna, especially that it nearly hit a former head of state, General Buhari. He personally put a call through to the General after breaking his fast on Wednesday, to express gratitude to God for sparing Buhari’s life,” the source said.
It added that the president further sought the cooperation of all Nigerians, including Buhari, in tackling the problems of insurgency.
He was also said to have assured Buhari that the government would do everything possible to bring the perpetrators of the attack to book.
A source said that the call, which lasted for close to 10 minutes, saw the two leaders expressing readiness to work together to bring insurgency to its knees in Nigeria.
