Shekau’s Death!! Credit To Jonathan’s Government – Daily

Though yet unconfirmed, the
reported death of Abubakar Shekau,
leader of the blood-thirsty Boko
Haram sect brings to focus the
largely unacknowledged efforts of
the immediate past Federal
Government, led by Dr. Goodluck
Jonathan.
Shekau had been reported dead in
battles with troops numerous times,
only for him to resurface and taunt
the government and wreak more
havocs.
However, towards the tail end of the
Jonathan administration, especially
the six weeks of routing by the
military shortly before the last
general election, reports also filtered
in that the cat with nine lives had
finally been killed.
From that period to date, the leader
of the insurgents is yet to make a
public appearance.
On Wednesday this week, the
Chadian leader Idris Derby disclosed
that Shekau may have indeed been
killed and that the insurgents have
already appointed a new leader,
Mahamat Daoud, who he said is
ready for talks with Nigeria.
Even if he resurfaces, Shekau is
already a damaged leader for the
group – credit for which should
richly go to the outgone Jonathan
administration.
This is because the outgone
administration had accomplished
almost 95 percent of the anti-terror
job in the fight against the
insurgents.
It is on record that Jonathan’s
administration spent a whopping
N4.62 trillion on national security in
five years.
