On Tuesday President Jonathan declared a state of emergency in the three states which included, Borno, Yobe and Adamawa ignoring the advise of the Nigerian Governors Forum.

During a 15-minutes address to the nation live on the network services of the Nigeria Television Authority, the Voice of Nigeria and the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria, President Jonathan told Nigerians that the activities of insurgents have been intolerable and some parts of Borno State have been taken over by groups.

“The insurgents and terrorists prevent government from fulfilling its duties. No matter what it takes, we will win this war against terrorism.”
