The President stated this during a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) rally in Damaturu, Yobe State.
“As I speak, I am so happy to announce that Yobe has been freed of Boko Haram as all territories earlier under the control of the sect members have been recaptured by our able troops and we will henceforth resist any attempt by the sect members or any group to take control of any of our territory again,” Jonathan said.
“It is unfortunate that our brothers and sisters have turned mad against us and have left us with these sad memories,” he added.
