Presidency Exposes Jonathan’s Incompetence Over Boko Harm

The Presidency reacting to claims by the former national security adviser, Sambo Dasuki that the previous administration of Goodluck Jonathan cleared the Northeast of Boko Haram terrorist to make elections possible in 2015, has said the monster of terrorism got bigger and more daring due to the incompetence and misgovernance of the Goodluck Jonathan’s  administration.

Dasuki had stated in his foreword to a 308-page new book titled, “Boko Haram Media War- An Encounter with the Spymaster” written by Yushau A. Shuaib that “In fact, without our intervention in ensuring the defeat of Boko Haram, the electorates could not have had the opportunity to exercise their franchise. It is a fact that we provided peace and stability that afforded Nigerians, especially in the North-East in voting for their governors, legislators, and others in the 2015 elections.”

The senior special assistant on media to the president, Garba Shehu in a statement described  the reports as untrue and should be dismissed as an attempt to deceive Nigerians with blatant lies.

“The superlative claims by the former National Security Adviser, Colonel Sambo Dasuki that the Goodluck Jonathan administration cleared the Northeast of Boko Haram terrorists to make elections possible in 2015 is untrue and should be dismissed as an attempt to deceive Nigerians with blatant lies.

“The claim is contained in a new book by a journalist is just another unfortunate attempt by inglorious Nigerians to rewrite the history of our country in such a way as to cover the sins of the past.

“We will have to read the entire text to offer a full and adequate response.

Recall that a few months ago the Presidency had facilitated the release of 80 Chibok girls and had reunited them with their families.
