Governor of Borno state, Kashim Shettima has described the leader of
Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau as a Lunatic who does not deserve any
respect. Gov Shettima said this while speaking to state house
correspondence after an emergency security meeting between the North
Eastern governors, security chiefs and President Jonathan at the state
house earlier today
"Shekau is a lunatic. He is a deranged element. He is not somebody
anybody should give any molecule of respect. His actions are beneath the
act of even an animal, believe me. I’m an eternal optimist and I am
passionate too for that matter, that we shall have enduring peace very
soon with the very robust frame work on ground.
We don’t want to mention a date or anything but I believe our military
is arising to the challenges of the time. Our military will robustly
respond to the challenges, I believe. Like I said earlier, I’m an
eternal optimist; we have to hope for the best against whatever odds" he
said
The governor said some areas in Borno state are partially in the control
of Boko Haram but says he is optimistic that the state would surmount
the challenges
"There are some local governments that are partially under the control
of the insurgents and there are some that are largely under our control.
I really don’t want to bolster Boko Haram by quoting numbers and
figures because these lunatics feast on the oxygen of publicity. The
more publicity they get, the happier they become. I don’t want to give
them that luxury. But I want to assure you that with 1,000 years of
recorded history, Borno shall rise again in spite of all the challenges,
believe me Insha Allah.” he said
