Ernest Bai Koroma. President of Sierra Leone. Nigeria played a great role to restore peace and order during Sierra Leone civil war. 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. African countries must rally round Nigeria. And it is time for us to come together as Africans, it is time for us to come together as West Africans to work with Nigeria to address this menace that is occurring in Nigeria. We condemn strongly what is happening and we believe that Boko Haram should not continue with these atrocities. And we welcome the support that is now coming on, now ECOWAS has just had a meeting and in that meeting collaborative efforts have been suggested. We look forward to the implementations of what has been suggested. But for now, we believe Nigeria deserves the supports.”
