We'll deal with Boko Haram in three months - Jonathan

President Goodluck Jonathan has said that in the next three months the
problem of Boko Haram insurgency would have been
significantlyeradicated.
The President, a CNN interview monitored by our correspondent on
Friday, said Nigeria's "security architecture" was not prepared for
theproblem of terrorism.
He also said the country was not negotiating with Boko Haram contrary
to opinions, but simply making attempts to "change their orientation".
Jonathan said, "We are not negotiating with Boko Haram. It is done all
over the world. It is not negotiation. We are not begging.
"Our security architecture was first designed to deal with ordinary
criminals but since terror started, we have been building it. I
believe ifyou are to interview me again in three months' time, you
will praise methat this government has tried.
"We are tackling terror from various angles. We must first of all stop
them through military intervention, which we have initiated by
declaring a state of emergency in three states where these terror
attacks are predominant."
