With Jonathan, B’Haram would’ve destroyed Nigeria –Dogara

Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara feel that Nigerians have a lot to be grateful for that former President Goodluck Jonathan was not re-elected as president, as the terror group Boko Haram would have totally destroyed the country under him.

Dogara asserted that the defeat of the PDP administration saved the nation from imminent collapse.

He said, “I want to thank God for the intervention in our affairs that he brought change in government. If we had continued like before, probably the Boko Haram fighters would have reached places like Jos by now.”

The speaker who was on a visit to the Internally Displaced Persons, IDPs, camp at Uhogua in Ovia North East Local Government Area of Edo State, also expressed shock at the number of IDPs in the camp.

While also lamenting that past PDP government failed to tackle the war as expected, declared that President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration was winning the war against the insurgents

He also called on the President to immediately organize an International donor conference for the North East, saying funds realized from such a conference would be used to rebuild the war-torn region.

He commended the General Overseer of the camp, Pastor Folorunsho Solomon, for keeping the camp running, and vowed to ensure that the National Assembly played its part to ensure that IDPs were well taken care of.
