President Goodluck Jonathan visited the Emab Plaza in central Abuja where a bomb blast killed at least 21 people on Wednesday and later went to the Maitama General  hospital where victims were being treated, describing the worsening Islamist insurgency as "one of the darkest phases in the history" of Nigeria after cutting short an African Union engagement to meet victims of the attack blamed on Boko Haram.


"Nigerians are struggling, thinking about how to contribute to (the) nation's development and working very hard to take care of their families (while) others are busy to kill people," "It is regrettable, But surely we will get over it." he told reporters outside the hospital.
