Boko Haram Attacks Have Reduced Because ‘Their Man Is The President’- Jonathan

Former president, Goodluck Jonathan, has claimed that Boko Haram attacks in the country have reduced because Nigeria is currently being ruled by a president with a Muslim background.

Jonathan made this claim in a yet-to-be released book, “Against The Run of Play”, written by the chairman of This Day editorial board, Olusegun Adeniyi.

He is said what is happening now with regards to Boko Haram was the same thing that happened to him regarding Niger Delta militants in 2007.

He said: “I did my best and so did the military, though I can understand if there is greater commitment to the fight now than in the past. In my time, Boko Haram said they were fighting an infidel government. That naturally has to change since they cannot also call Buhari an infidel.

“There is a feeling of ‘our man is there now’ that you cannot discountenance. It was the same feeling with me with the Niger Delta militants at the initial stage in 2007.”
