Those of you accusing me of being the one sponsoring Boko Haram are Mad, idiots - Goodluck Jonathan

President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday said those accusing him of backing Boko Haram are insane.

The President said this during his campaign rally in Yola, the Adamawa State capital.

Jonathan said that he had no reason to sponsor the killing of children, women and the aged as he had nothing to benefit from such deleterious actions.

“In 2011, I had two times the number of votes I had in Bayelsa State.

Why should I want to reduce that number of votes?”Jonathan quipped.

“Only a mad person can insinuate that the president is supporting Boko Haram.”

Condoling the people following over the persistent Boko Haram attacks, Jonathan promised that Adamawa would be the first among the three states that would be completely liberated from the insurgents.

Jonathan informed the gathering that Michika, one of the remaining two local governments in the hands of the insurgents, has been liberated.

“We are totally committed to the liberation of Adamawa state,”he said. “Adamawa will be the first state that will be freed.

As we are talking to you Michika Local Government area has been recaptured by our gallant soldiers.

The remaining local government, Madagali will, insha Allah, be recaptured very soon.

“We are totally committed to Adamawa and it will be the first state that will be liberated.

I feel so burdened about the excesses of Boko Haram.”

Jonathan, who promised to make massive investment in Agriculture and other key sectors for the rapid development of the state, urged the people to massively vote their gubernatorial candidate, Nuhu Ribadu, for development to be solidly rooted in the state.

“I knew him when I was a deputy governor and as a governor I monitored him till today. He has unique attributes. I believe he will join us to fight insecurity in Adamawa state,”Jonathan said.

The president added that Ribadu has the energy, intellectual capacity and wide range of network across the globe to rout Boko Haram insurgency
