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.
