Jonathan made the remark when he received in audience a delegation of the Christian Community in FCT led by FCT Minister Bala Mohammed.
Jonathan said there was no justification for the crime and called on Nigerians to continue to pray for peace in the country.
The president was reacting to the bomb blast that occurred in the early hours of the chirstmas day in Madalla, in Niger, shortly after the end of a church service.
“We have challenges as a nation; even this morning, a very ugly incident happened in a Catholic Church. We are yet to get the number of deaths in the incident.
“The issue of bombing is one of the burdens we must live with. It will not last forever; I believe that it will surely be over,’’ he said.
Condoling with the families of those who lost their lives in the incident, Jonathan said that there was no reason for such an act to be carried out on a Christmas day.
