An aide to President Goodluck
Jonathan said on Friday that his
boss was not afraid to visit some
parts of the country as is being
speculated in some quarters.
Special Adviser to the President
on Political Affairs, Ahmed Gulak
stated this in an exclusive
interview where he was reacting
to Thursday’s visit to Maiduguri
by the governors of the newly-
formed All Progressives’
Congress, which led to talk of
leaders being bold enough to visit
any part of the country.
Borno State has been the
epicentre of Boko Haram terrorist activity which has claimed
thousands of lives since 2009. However, President Jonathan has not
visited there since he was elected into office in 2011, even though
Vice-President Namadi Sambo was recently there.
The governors said their choice of Maiduguri as a meeting venue
was informed by the need to prove the point that there should not
be any no-go area for any Nigerian leader.
But Gulak told this correspondent that President Jonathan was not
afraid of visiting any part of the country and he would prove it by
visiting Maiduguri on Thursday.
He said, “Who is afraid to visit Borno State? The President will be on
a state visit to Borno State next week, March 7 to be precise.
“The governors are just trying to pre-empt the President. Goodluck
Jonathan is not afraid of visiting any part of the country. He is the
President of all states and all parts of the country without
exception.”
