President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday
paid a surprise visit to Maiduguri, Borno State, one of the three
North-Eastern states worst hit by Boko Haram insurgency.
Jonathan embarked on the trip shortly
after laying a wreath at the National Arcade, Abuja in commemoration of
the Armed Forces Remembrance Day.
There had been clamour for him to visit the zone since April 14 when over 200 schoolgirls were abducted in Chibok by the sect.
Critics also chided the President for
continuing his presidential campaign without visiting or not making a
direct comment on the January 3 killings in Baga and Doron Baga in Borno
State by Boko Haram.
