"JUST AS WE CRUSHED EBOLA WE WILL CRUSH BOKOHARAM" - JONATHAN

From President Goodluck Jonathan came a message of hope for Nigerians Friday, as he promised that his government would see to the end of the Boko Haram insurgency, just as, according to him, Nigeria defeated the dreaded Ebola Virus Disease (EVD). The assurances from Mr. President came on the heels of reported death of the sect’s leader ‘Abubakar Shekau.’

The president spoke at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin City during the South-South Unity rally, where he also vowed that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) would win convincingly all elections slated for next year.

  He said:  “There was somebody who said PDP believes in stomach infrastructure; yes, because PDP must ensure food security. Every government in this world talks about food security and job creation and the Nigerian government has been given award by the Food and Agriculture Organisation for reducing extreme hunger by 50 per cent. 

  “Our detractors don’t want Nigerians to know that we are working, but others who monitor what is happening in the whole world know that we are working, even the World Health organisation recently recognised our commitment, in terms of fighting Ebola. So, I promise you that our transformation agenda will succeed.
