Re-elect me, I’ll end Boko Haram, Jonathan tells Bornopeople

Pr e s i d e n t Goodluck Jonathan yesterday asked the people
of Borno, the epicentre of Boko Haram insurgency, to re-elect
him in the February 14 presidential election, promising to end
the five-year insurgency if he gets the second term. Jonathan
who was in Maiduguri yesterday for his presidential campaign
promised to rescue the over 200 schoolgirls abducted in
Chibok on April 14, 2014.
“I promise that we must surely conquer Boko Haram in our
second term. We must also ensure that all the kidnapped
people including the Chibok schoolgirls get back home. We
must surely turn this state to a peace and loving place,” he
told party supporters at Ramat Square.
He said he often felt very sad whenever some Nigerians
alleged being involved in heightening insecurity in the north for
political advantage, adding that no president in the world
would involve in such thing.
“How can I do that? No president or leader anywhere in the
world will do that. I assure you we will make sure the
insecurity problem is solved and recover communities taken
over by Boko Haram. We will resettle people sacked from their
communities,” he pledged.
