While answering questions on the continued violence in the North-East during the presidential media chat, Jonathan described a statement credited to Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno State that Boko Haram insurgents were better equipped than security forces as “unfortunate.”
The statement credited to the governor of Borno State is a bit unfortunate because I don’t expect a governor to make that kind of a statement.
“Since the governor of Borno State felt that the Nigerian armed forces are not useful, he should tell Nigerians, I will pull them out of Borno State for one month, whether he will stay in the Government House, just one month.
“Then I will go back and take over the state. If he thinks what he said is correct, then I will pull out the military from Borno State for one month.
“The governor should be mindful of what he is saying. Yes, there are issues. No matter how frustrated you are, you don’t make that kind of statement.”
