The President also assured that the community would be completely cleared of terrorists within a week of being recaptured.
“We believe by tomorrow (Thursday) or latest Friday, we will be able to take over Gwoza,” Jonathan said.
“If we take over Gwoza it will not take us more than one week to clean up. Now Boko Haram is not in position to come out and disrupt elections,” he added.
