President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan was on Thursday
in Mubi, Adamawa State and Baga, Borno
State applauded Nigerian troops for proving
their mettle once again through the rapid
recapture of territories formerly held by
insurgents in the country’s North-Eastern
states.
Addressing officers and men of the Nigerian
Army in both towns, which were recently
recaptured from Boko Haram, President
Jonathan declared that he and all Nigerians
were very proud of the bravery, competence
and patriotism with which they were now
undertaking operations to expel the
insurgents from all parts of Borno, Yobe and
Adamawa states.
The President said that with their recent
successes, which have overwhelmingly
turned the tide against Boko Haram, the
Nigerian military has proven beyond any
doubt that it remains fully capable of
defending the territorial integrity of Nigeria.
The military’s recent victories against Boko
Haram, President Jonathan told the troops,
have also proven conclusively that all those,
within and outside the country, who cast
aspersions on Nigerian soldiers and
questioned their ability and willingness to
overcome the insurgents were misinformed
and wrong.
