President Goodluck Jonathan has blamed the non-
rescue of the abducted Chibok girls on external
forces, promising that his administration would do
everything possible to end the Boko Haram
insurgency in a matter of months.
The president spoke, yesterday, at the palace of
the Shehu of Borno where he had gone to pay
homage to the traditional ruler.
According to him, after ending the Boko Haram
insurgency, his administration would rebuild the
affected areas.
Jonathan stated that, with the use of initiatives like
Victim Support Fund, Presidential Initiative for
North-east and Safe School Initiative as well as
increased budgetary allocation, his administration
will rebuild and redesign Borno State in such a way
that children will have access to education and
better future.

presidential campaign rally in Maiduguri, yesterday.
“We feel the pain of Borno people. I personally feel
more pained when people accuse me of of being
involved in the problem for some political
advantage. I have said it many times that my
ambition is not worth the blood of any Nigerian.
And I don’t think any president or human being can
do what they accuse me of doing,’’ the president
said.
“The Boko Haram problem is what I thought we
would have ended long ago but may be external
influence or interest is affecting us. I am assuring
you however that it won’t take us more than a few
months to end this insurgency and restore peace in
Borno.
“Our people must return to their communities.
Insha Allahu, we will get our Chibok girls back’’.
