Boko Haram Can’t Stop Elections In Northeast – Governors

The Governors of Borno, Adamawa and Yobe states, the worst hit in Boko
Haram attacks, say elections will hold in their states next month
despite the security challenges posed by Boko Haram. According to KSM
News, the governors of Borno State Governor Kashim Shettima and his
Yobe counterpart, IbrahimGaidam stated this while speaking to State
House correspondents after a security meeting with President Jonathan
at the presidential Villa, Abuja today January 6th.

countries like Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan, then the Northeast
states shouldn't be an exception.

Then they requested the deployment of more troops to effectively
manage the insurgency crisis being faced in their states.
