Governor of Adamawa State, James Ngilari yesterday, expressed his fears and concern to President Goodluck Jonathan to save his state from being overrun by Boko Haram insurgents who have already taken over five local governments and are advancing to other towns.
Boko Haram, has renamed another town it captured as part of its Islamic caliphate, and has put in place full enforcement of Sharia law in those areas it controls.
The governor, however got the assurance from Mr President, who said that in spite of the present security challenges, Nigeria will remain unbroken even as he promised free and fair general elections next year.
Ngilari, who spoke to pressmen, after his meeting with Jonathan said;
“The security situation in Adamawa is very dicey right now and we are only trying to do our best to manage the situation. We are praying that it will improve, but it is really something to worry about”.This is getting out of hand, don’t you think so???
“There is a semblance of movement in that area. Really, we need a lot of intervention. We need to move more troops to secure the state. Really, it is a big challenge.”
