Boko Haram: No Political Campaigns In Borno – Analysts

There would not be any politicking in Borno State as the 2015 general elections approaches, Dr. A. A. Malik, a political scientist and analyst stated.

The political guru, during a political survey deliberation held in Maiduguri, the capital city of Borno State, said as far as the 2015 polls is concern, every indication shows that no politicking or campaign should take place in the state.

“As people have been displaced from their towns, more LGAs have been seized by Boko Haram insurgents, no political function should be held where there is no certainty.

“Without peace nothing political is perfectly done everywhere in the world; and in view of what is currently happening in Maiduguri, there should never be a room for political activities to take place in the state,” said the political scientist.”

Dr. Malik while fielding questions from 247ureports.com added that: “I think, about 50% of Borno State land mass have been seized by the terrorists. So, those captured places are no-go areas now, and the dwellers of the villages have been moved away from there.

“Therefore, everything political: campaign, meeting or any function has been restricted to the Maiduguri metropolis, which itself isn’t that peaceful and conducive for any political campaign or politicking”
