Jonathan Assures On Soldiers Recapturing Old Territories

President Goodluck Jonathan has stated that it might take Nigerian soldiers “within a month” to recapture towns seized by Boko Haram insurgents in the northern part of the country.
The President made the statement in an interview the BBC aired on Friday, March 20, 2015, in which Mr President said that the Nigerian military hopes to recapture towns seized by Boko Haram within a month, in what would be a swift victory after six years of bloody conflict.
Speaking during the interview, Jonathan, who is seeking re-election on March 28, said Boko Haram was “getting weaker and weaker every day”.
“I’m very hopeful that it will not take us more than a month to recover old territories that hitherto have been in their hands,” he told the BBC.
Experts believe Jonathan’s statement might be because the Islamist militants have proved recently that they are still capable of carrying out deadly hit-and-run strikes.
