Jonathan’s re-election will end insurgency -Borno PDP

Stakeholders of Peoples
Democratic Party in Borno State on
Tuesday said the re-election of
President Goodluck Jonathan in
2015 would bring an end to the
activities of terrorists in the
country.
Rising from a stakeholders
meeting in Maiduguri, the elders
and leaders said a change in
strategy, which a new
administration might introduce,
would allow the violence in the
region to drag unnecessarily.
Throwing their support behind the
ongoing counter-insurgency
operations in the North-East,
especially the extension of the
state of emergency in Adamawa,
Borno and Yobe states, the party
stalwarts promised to do
everything to ensure the success of
Jonathan in the 2015 election.
“We met again after our successful
outing on Monday. We discussed
many issues but specifically we
restated our support for Mr.
President both on his re-election
and the ongoing anti- terror
operations. We rededicate
ourselves to wresting power from
the APC in Borno and commend
the security agencies for their
enormous sacrifices in the anti –
terror war,” the stakeholders told
journalists through the party
leader in the state and Minister of
State for Power, Mohammed Wakil.
“We are convinced that Mr.
President is doing all things
humanly possible to bring
insurgency to an end. Moreover, we
commend the President over his
pledge to recapture all occupied
territories and rebuild the North-
East after the war.”
Wakil explained that the
stakeholders were convinced that
only the continuity of a PDP-led
Federal Government could
accelerate the defeat of terror
activities in the North-East,
adding, “The state cannot afford
new experiment capable of
worsening the ongoing conflicts.”
Those that attended the meeting
included the former governor of
Borno State, Senator Ali Modu
Sheriff; Dr Shettima Mustapha,
Alhaji Abba Gana, Mohammed
Kumalia and Alhaji Musa Kareto.
