[ must read]Why I changed my mind from going to Chibok – Jonathan


President Goodluck Jonathan has explained why he stopped his initial plan to visit Borno state;according to Mr president he said,it was not necessary for him to visit Chibok in Borno, as his going there would not lead to the release of the over 200 school girls abducted in April.
The President, who gave the explanation on Saturday at a press conference in Paris, France, said that his main interest was to locate and rescue the girls.
The President further explained that he was not averse to visiting bomb explosion sites, as he had done so in the past.'These girls are not held in Chibok. Sometime, people want the President to go to Chibok.'If the President goes to Chibok today, it does not solve any problem.
'The problem facing the President and indeed the Nigerian Government is how to get these girls from wherever they are,' he declared.
Jonathan said the service chiefs had since visited the area, adding that the emphasis now was on the rescue of the girls abducted over a month ago.
The President assured that the Nigerian military were being trained to develop the necessary capacity to adequately deal with the terror threat.
Jonathan also asserted that the allegation of misappropriation of funds against the military was exaggerated. (NAN)
