He therefore promised to support Nigeria in the fight to crush the Islamist sect.President Bi-Koromah who visited President Goodluck Jonathan in Abuja said that Nigeria played a significant role in restoring peace and order in Sierra Leone, therefore deserves the backing of his country when it (Nigeria) faces internal crisis.
His words: ”In moments like this, we believe we should come and express sympathy for the bombings that have been taking place in Nigeria and most recently the abduction of about 200 secondary school girls.
“We believe that this is not an issue for Nigeria alone. We must come in and identify ourselves with the problems that are ongoing here.
“We believe strongly that the position Nigeria is enjoying as the largest economy in Africa and the fact that one out of every four Africans is a Nigerian, issues like this happening to Nigeria are issues that will affect the whole of Africa.”
He said African countries must rally round Nigeria to “address this menace that is occurring in Nigeria.”
