Former Vice President
Atiku Abubakar on Tuesday promised to end the Boko Haram insurgency in the
country if elected president in 2019.
He said his government
would end the nine years insurgency in the North East within a short time.
Atiku, who is touring
some parts of the country for his presidential bid, stated this while
addressing Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) supporters at the Forshams Hall,
Maiduguri, Borno State.
The ex- Vice President
said while the civil war lasted only two years the Boko Haram has not ended nine
years after.
He said: “Nigeria ended
her civil war in only two- and- half years despite the thick forests in the
South East. I wonder why the war against insurgency took us nine years.
There must be something wrong somewhere.
“If elected I will not allow
any commander to tell me stories. We must end insurgency within the shortest
possible time because the insurgency has crippled everything in the North
East.”
Nobody ever says how they will do it but just a long list of promises.
