The Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathon, opened his campaign to win a second elected term as Nigeria’s leader, by defending his record at tackling Boko Haram militants that have been responsible for killings across the region.
Criticising the opposition, Jonathan said,
“They talk about insecurity, that they will fight insecurity. Ask him when he was head of government did he buy one rifle for Nigerian soldiers? No. these people did not buy anything for the military.”
Jonothan’s campaign launch came as sources in the north-eastern Baga district of Nigeria, told journalists that over 100 people had been killed by Boko Haram militants, reports Reuters.
