PRESIDENT Goodluck Jonathan said in Maiduguri yesterday that the Boko Haram insurgency would soon become a history.



The president, who stated this in his condolence message to the family, the government and people of Borno State over the killing of General Mamman Shuwa, said he was passionate about restoring peace to Borno, Yobe and all other crisis-ridden states in the north.


The Civil War veteran was killed last Friday at his Gwange residence in Maiduguri.

Jonathan, who message was delivered by the Minister of State for Youths Development, Inuwa Abdulkadir, described the slain retired general as a nationalist that worked tirelessly for the nation’s unity.

Jonathan, who said he was deeply pained by the spate of killings in parts of the north and was working assiduously to restore peace there, added: “The Boko Haram crisis cannot be aligned to any religion as no religion preaches violence. It is just that some guys are hiding under the guise of religion to ferment trouble, but it is a well known fact that no religion condones violence, we pray that the situation becomes history soonest.”

Responding, Governor Kashim Shettima described Shuwa as a tower of strength to many, his community and the government.

“General Shuwa was an iconic soldier, astute administrator and quintessential community man. He was living with the people, fought for the people and died for the people. While his colleagues were living in Asokoro and Lagos, Shuwa lived in the density Gwange area and identified with the people. We are definitely going to miss not only his intellect, but his useful advises,” the governor said.

Other members of the delegation such other ministers of state as Alhaji Bukar Tijjani (Agriculture), Yerima Ngalma (Finance) and Ambassador Bashir Yuguda (Sports).

The president has been criticized for failing to visit Borno and Yobe States, the hotbed of the Boko Haram crisis where thousands of people have been killed.

Minion:

Oh I thought he even went to Borno himself! Im no fit na.mtscheeew!

Even den no born pressy well make he step Borno but den fit dey post corp members there.

An often repeated statement

Okay, as much as I am not a big fan of GEJ, I really wish these reporters would stop twisting his words just to make him look like something he isn't. The title of this article is really very deceptive.

He did not say Boko Haram will soon be history. . .saying that would imply he is actually doing something towards that goal and we all know that's not who he is.

What he said is "we pray that the situation becomes history soonest"

. . . Now THAT is the GEJ we know and love! THE ACTIONLESS/PRAYER WARRIOR KING!!

I pray so

President sef dey fear to enter Maiduguri.

With all due respect Mr President, STFU for once...!

How many times have we heard this gist? It's pretty hard to believe when members of the sect keep pulling off Houdini-style disappearing acts and escape tricks....so forgive us Mr. President, if we sensible Nigerians, take this news with just a pinch of salt.

We are on top of it!!!

Mr president is clown ....lol
