Northern Leaders Give Jonathan October Ultimatum to Bring Back Chibok Girls

#BringBackOurGirls On Monday, the faction of Northern Elders Forum led by Maitama Sule gavePresident Goodluck Ebele Jonathan an ultimatum till the end of October 2014 to bring back the over 200 abducted school girls from the Chibok area of Borno. They also told him to end the Boko Haram insurgency, and failure to do so means he is not fit to seek a re-election in 2015.

According to Channels TV, the leaders of the North noted that the warning became imperative because they were of the firm belief that the lingering terrorist attacks and other related security challenges in the country pose a major threat to the 2015 elections and the survival of Nigeria as a nation.

The forum allege that the FG’s failure to put an end to the insecurity in Yobe, Borno and Adamawa, was a plot to weaken the North’s political and economic potentials ahead of the 2015 elections.
