Jonathan spoke at the Ribadu Square, Yola, Adamawa State while addressing Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP) supporters who thronged the place give him and his entourage a rousing welcome.
He assured the people that the Federal Government was committed to getting rid off Boko Haram out of the state.
According to him, “Before this time, five local government areas were under the control of the Boko Haram. So many people lost their lives, not to talk about poverty. As we are talking today, Michika local government has been recaptured by our galant soldiers.
“All of us here feel so burdened by the excesses of Boko Haram. That’s why when some time ago someone informed me that on the social media, some people are insinuating that the President is even behind Boko Haram as a political tool, I said Allah should forgive the person.
“Because there is no human being who will be the President of his country that will want to bring terror to his own country; not even one, even if you’re the most stupid person on earth, you won’t even do it.
“Because I know the burden I carry because of Boko Haram; I know the kind of conversations I’m having with other world leaders; so if any human being will be so heartless to even insinuate that the President will bring Boko Haram to Adamawa then ask him why should I bring Boko Haram to Adamawa State for political purposes?
“In 2011, I had more than 65 percent votes from Adamawa; in terms of total number of votes, I had 2/3 the votes I had in Bayelsa from Adamawa. Why will I want to reduce that number of votes for political reasons?
“How can any mad person insinuate that the President or Presidency is supporting Boko Haram. Is it to my own detriment or for my own good?”
He expressed deep appreciation to the people, adding however that whenever he is in Adamawa, he has heavy heart because of the excesses of Boko Haram.
He explained that why he supported Ribadu as the governorship candidate was because Ribadu has unique attributes and had international connections that would help to defeat Boko Haram.
