“Before this time, five local government areas in Adamawa were under the control of Boko Haram.
“But today, Michika Local Government Area of Adamawa has been recaptured from Boko Haram. And the only remaining local government, Madagali, will insha Allahu, be liberated.”
Jonathan re-iterated his administration’s commitment to recapture all the occupied territories in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states.
He dismissed insinuations from some quarters that the Presidency was behind Boko Haram activity in the North east region for political advantages.

“I know the burden I am carrying because of Boko Haram and the daily conversations I used to have with some World leaders.” Jonathan said.
He said that he would never forget Adamawa for being kind to him in the 2011 general elections, where he got over 65 per cent votes.
On the PDP governorship candidate in the state, Malam Nuhu Ribadu, the president said Ribadu was an experienced person that he would work together with to bring an end to Boko Haram. (NAN)
