Borno Dep. Governor says Boko Haram may capture entire 3 North East states in weeks

The Deputy Governor of Borno state, Zanna Mustapha, while visiting thousands displaced indigenes in Yola yesterday Monday November 3rd, said that with the easy way Boko Haram has been capturing territories in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe, the three states would soon be history.

“If the Federal Government does not add extra effort, in the next two to three months, the three North-Eastern states will no longer be in existence. The Federal Government has tried its best but their best is not enough because rather than going after the insurgents, it is the insurgents that are going after us. It is a big crime that the criminals are better equipped than the military and they are just few kilometres from the Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states capitals.”

"There is no morality in governance. If you want to be moral, go to church" - Rotimi Amaechi

The Governor of Rivers state Rotimi Amaechi was a guest on AIT's Focus Nigeria this morning where he talked about a lot of things including his reservations about President Jonathan...

"I respect the president as a person. He is a gentle man, he is a good man but there is no morality in governance. There is no goodness in governance. If you want to be moral or want to be a good man, go to church. Right there when it comes to governance, its about the people. It is about delivering to the people. It is about competence. It is about your ability to perform. So when you look at the President and you say he is a gentle man, you should also look at somebody in terms of performance. But even those who say he is a good man, what about the fact that you can compare his government to Abacha's government. What is the difference? TAN singing everywhere one million man match, can you compare the two?"
