PresidentGoodluck Jonathan has blamed the non-rescue of the abducted
Chibok girls on external forces, promising that his administration
would do everything possible to end the Boko Haram insurgency in a
matter of months.
The president spoke, yesterday, at the palace of the Shehu of Borno
where he had gone to pay homage to the traditional ruler.
According to him, after ending the Boko Haram insurgency, his
administration would rebuild the affected areas.
Jonathan stated that, with the use of initiatives like Victim Support
Fund, Presidential Initiative for North-east and Safe School
Initiative as well as increased budgetary allocation, his
administration will rebuild and redesign Borno State in such a way
that children will have access to education and better future.

"We feel the pain of Borno people. I personally feel more pained when
people accuse me of of being involved in the problem for some
political advantage. I have said it many times that my ambition is not
worth the blood of any Nigerian. And I don't think any president or
human being can do what they accuse me of doing,'' the president said.
"The Boko Haram problem is what I thought we would have ended long ago
but may be external influence or interest is affecting us. I am
assuring you however that it won't take us more than a few months to
end this insurgency and restore peace in Borno.
"Our people must return to their communities. Insha Allahu, we will
get our Chibok girls back''
