Jonathan Threatens To Withdraw Troops From Borno



President Goodluck Jonathan has threatened to withdraw the military from the North-east, especially Borno, following unguarded statements by some people from the region, including Borno State Governor Ibrahim Shettima.

In a presidential chat in Abuja on Monday, President Jonathan said he wondered if the Borno State governor would be able to stay back in the state as governor if the federal government withdrew the military for one month.

The president said it was unfortunate that a state governor would make such unguarded statement that the Boko Haram insurgents were more armed than the Nigerian Army.

He said the efforts of the federal government in handling the insecurity in the North-east should be appreciated and encouraged to yield the desired results.
