National security adviser to President Goodluck Jonathan, Sambo Dasuki on Monday said all the camps of Boko Haram insurgents within the country would be destroyed within the next six weeks.
Chad, Cameroon and Niger are currently collaborating with the Nigerian military in a bid to put an end to activities of the sect and Dasuki while speaking with AFP expressed optimism that the ongoing multinational offensive against the insurgents would be productive.
He also rebuffed claims his call for delay of the elections was politically motivated saying “It’s not everybody who does things for selfish reasons. Some of us have a conscience.”
He added that the postponement could easily help the opposition All Progressives Congress, because improved security could boost turnout in the northeast, an APC stronghold.
