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.
