Jonathan visits Baga, Mubi
President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan
Thursday in Mubi, Adamawa State and
Baga, Borno State applauded Nigerian
troops for proving their mettle once again
through the rapid recapture of territories
formerly held by insurgents in the
country’s North-Eastern states.
Addressing officers and men of the
Nigerian Army in both towns, which were
recently recaptured from Boko Haram,
President Jonathan declared that he and all
Nigerians were very proud of the bravery,
competence and patriotism with which
they were now undertaking operations to
expel the insurgents from all parts of
Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states.
The President said that with their recent
successes, which have overwhelmingly
turned the tide against Boko Haram, the
Nigerian military has proven beyond any
doubt that it remains fully capable of
defending the territorial integrity of
Nigeria.
The military’s recent victories
against Boko Haram, President Jonathan
told the troops, have also proven
conclusively that all those, within and
outside the country, who cast aspersions
on Nigerian soldiers and questioned their
ability and willingness to overcome the
insurgents were misinformed and wrong.
