…says Boko Haram story will change in 2 weeks

The president said the nation had acquired equipment to “withstand” the excesses of the insurgents.
“Sometimes, people define Nigeria by the Boko Haram. Nigeria cannot be defined based on Boko Haram alone. There is terror all over the world… but luckily, with what is happening now, I tell people that in the next two to three weeks, this story will change because we’ve got the equipment that we can withstand the excesses of Boko Haram.
“That is why these few days, you will see the movement, we don’t want to say much. It’s going on gradually. My belief is that in the next three weeks or so, if we don’t completely take over all our territories, we would’ve handled Boko Haram to the extent that it’ll no longer be a problem to the elections that will come up”, he said.
Jonathan, who pledged to carry the elders along in all his programmes, said he would be having quarterly meetings with the six geo-political zones.
The president also called on politicians to defend and protect the nation’s unity and stability.
Earlier, the president of Yorubal Elders Council, retired Gen. Adeyinka Adebayo, commended Jonathan for the quality of leadership he was giving the nation.
