Jonathan can't end Boko Haram, they will continue if he returns —Governor Okorocha

This is what you get if a President is not assertive and his government uses kid gloves on terrorists.

Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State has said that Boko Haram insurgency would not end if President Goodluck Jonathan gets returned as Nigeria’s leader in the 2015 general elections.
Okorocha made the declaration in Akure, the Ondo State capital, during a visit to the state’s secretariat of the APC with his team to woo delegates to back him for the party’s presidential ticket.

He said President Goodluck Jonathan had proved incapable of handling the Boko Haram insurgency, and that the terrorists threat was becoming worse than the Nigerian civil war.

He spoke at the sixth Christopher Kolade Symposium organised by the Nigeria Leadership Initiative, an organisation he was a pioneer patron.

He made specific reference to Jonathan’s decision to honour a political rally in Kano shortly after a bombing that killed several people early in the year, saying the best he could have done was “to postpone the political event.”

The coordinator of the National Information Centre, Mr. Mike Omeri, who stated this when he briefed journalists in Abuja said Nigerian soldiers had concluded two phases of the training out of the three phases before the cancellation.

“The training that is being mentioned were supposed to be in three phases, two phases have been concluded, the next phase requires some logistical components and I don’t think it’s wise to take equipment from the field and keep them in Jaji for training when our soldiers are out there needing the equipment.
