Mr. Jonathan told his campaign crowd estimated at several thousand people that he would do everything to end the Boko Haram insurgency if re-elected, adding that the rehabilitation of victims of Islamist insurgents would begin soon. He also pledged to work towards the rebuilding of destroyed schools and communities.
“We are all under terror, so let us join hands to conquer our common enemies. I am promising the whole of you that we shall surely end this insurgency. We will surely stop Boko Haram and we shall return Borno to what we used to know.
Whatever it takes to do this and to ensure the return of the Chibok girls we will do. We will surely conquer Boko Haram. We will surely return this state to the peaceful state we know.”
