President Goodluck Jonathan on Saturday vowed that the Federal Government would regain parts of the country seized by the Boko Haram terror group.
Jonathan gave the assurance when he paid a courtesy visit to traditional rulers in Epe, near Lagos.
“I have made all the tools and machineries available to fight against Boko Haram.
“I want to ensure that Boko Haram will not disturb or cause any violence during the forthcoming elections.”
He said that he would ensure that the election would be free and fair.
Jonathan promised to support Epe people by providing them with a power plant that would boost their power supply.
“I am aware that power supply has been the major challenge in Epe community. I will assist in boosting your power supply.”
He also pledged that the Federal Government would complete the ongoing seaport and free trade zone project in Epe.
Earlier, Oba Akeem Adesanya, the Alara of Ilara, a community in Epe, offered prayers for Jonathan.
Adesanya, who is also Chairman of Traditional Rulers in the Epe Division, described the achievements of Jonathan as laudable.
He pleaded with the president to keep his promise to Epe people when re-elected.
The PDP Governorship candidate in Lagos State, Mr Jimi Agbaje, said that the presidential visit would assist in the development of Epe Division and Lagos State in general.
He said that Jonathan was a grassroots man who recognised and respected traditional rulers.
“Traditional rulers are the grassroots people that know more about their community.
“It is, therefore, important to work in collaboration with them to develop the rural and urban areas.”
Agbaje promised to move Lagos State forward if elected.
NAN reports that notable personalities, including the PDP National Chairman, Mr Adamu Muazu, former Anambra Governor Mr Peter Obi, former Ogun State Governor, Mr Gbenga Daniel and Musiliu Obanikoro attended the event.

Yes, our lying president. Keep lying. After all, everyone knows you for that.
ReplyDeleteWow.
ReplyDeleteTalk about moral bankruptcy.
First it was Transformation Agenda Propaganda that failed woefully with lots of Naira wasted and down the drain.
Now you see the President of Nigeria shamelessly using the power of incumbency to now run the propaganda train on his own. This GEJ is absolutely morally bankrupt.
They tell us the Military needed time to fight insurgents and while Nigeria is busy fighting battles, our so-called Commander-in-Chief is busy running the TAN Propaganda Train himself.
We called on the elders of our dear Nation Nigeria to please speak up.
If indeed, GEJ is not pursuing Gbabo's (of Ivory Coast) agenda, then why his he busy going about and campaigning and talking to traditional rulers, making bogus promises when he should be actually busy with the so-called security chiefs.
PDP indeed is a morally bankrupt party.
So the President is wrong in trying to reclaim the country from Boko haram?
