President Goodluck Jonathan has visited Mubi in Adamawa State, more than three months after Nigerian troops recaptured the town from the insurgent group, Boko Haram.

The president arrived Yola international airport at about 10.45a.m. Thursday, accompanied by the by chief of Air Defence staff and all the service chiefs and the inspector general of police. He later travelled by helicopter to Mubi.

At Mubi, Mr. Jonathan met with the Emir of Mubi, Isa Ahamadu, and the people of the area.
There were unconfirmed reports that the president visited Vintim village in Mubi, the home town of Nigeria’s Defence Chief, Alex Badeh.

But security sources told PREMIUM TIMES that from Mubi, Mr. Jonathan was to travel to Baga in neighbouring Borno State.

Baga was reclaimed by government troops last week after Boko Haram militants overran the town killing hundreds and displacing thousands.
Mr. Jonathan and his administration have been widely criticised for their handling of the Boko Haram crisis, and the failure of the government to stem attacks against civilians.

Ahead of elections, the government has apparently stepped up effort against the terror group with multiple towns liberated by soldiers.
The government has also announced new measures to raise the morale of its combat forces.

On Wednesday, the Army Chief, Kenneth Minimah, visited Baga where he announced that troops who liberated the town will be automatically promoted to the next rank.

A top security chief in Borno state who spoke on anonymity said Mr. Jonathan was heading to Baga, but refused to give further details.
“Of course the president will be going to Baga today but the trip is not being handled by us here. I believe it is not something big but just a confidence building visit for the troops,” the source said.

Mr. Minima, a Lieutenant General, had said during his visit Wednesday that given the successes achieved by the troops in Baga, the president might likely visit the troops.

Very foolish and miserable thing.
After the death of several innocent thousands and displacement of further millions, the fool chose to wake up to his responsibilities days before election.
He met boko haram as local riff raffs but allowed them to grow to an international menace before he woke up from his slumber.
When he was suppose to act, he was busy telling the whole world that they are his siblings.
He remains a curse. He must
go.

Almost all our past leaders have indulge in the above allegation you mention, people killed by terror are not mostly Muslim, majority of them are from Christian villages, that aside, Nigerians were killed by these terrorist not muslim or Christian.

It's a morale booster to the soldiers at the war front.I am not sure it will translate to any political electoral votes for the president but the President should be contented with the benefit of good conscience that he identified with the communities ravaged by the insurgents.
