Boko Haram Can’t Stop Elections In Northeast – Governors

The Governors of Borno, Adamawa and Yobe states, the worst hit in Boko Haram attacks, say elections will hold in their states next month despite the security challenges posed by Boko Haram.

According to KSM News, the governors of Borno State Governor Kashim Shettima and his Yobe counterpart, Ibrahim Gaidam stated this while speaking to State House correspondents after a security meeting with President Jonathan at the presidential Villa, Abuja today January 6th.

The Governors argued that if elections could hold in troubled countries like Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan, then the Northeast states shouldn’t be an exception. Then they requested the deployment of more troops to effectively manage the insurgency crisis being faced in their states.

    i doubt if any right frame of mind would want to take such risk. People will travel to their village just incase of any possible worse scenario (rejecting it though. Pray we have a free and fair election.

    I sincerely fear for our nation . I was re-watching Pastor Bakare's sermon of 'There Might be no 2015' and sincerely the man made serious sense. Think of it, according to the constitution, the presidential elections has to be held simultaneously in every state across the country. Can it comfortably be held in the North East? All these governors are just blabbing because at the end of the day they are 'protected' in their governor's palaces. MAY GOD HELP US ALL
