10 important things President said during AIT interview

President Goodluck Jonathan, on Thursday, March 5,
appeared on the morning show, “Kaakaki” which is aired on
Africa Independent Television (AIT).
During the interview, the President addressed a variety of
national issues including the missing Chibok girls and the
insecurity unleashed by Boko Haram.
Here are 10 important things he said during the interview:
1. Till we start refining crude oil, we can't get out of these
issues (fuel scarcity).
2. Reduction of fuel price is not politically motivated,
people play politics with everything in Nigeria.
3. We would privatize the refineries completely but it
would be done in a way to ensure minimal effect on
Nigerians. We would also encourage the private sector
to build refineries too
4. At the beginning, we did not really estimate the capacity
of Boko Haram. But over the years they continued to
build their capacity with links with other terrorist
groups.
5. I believe we've gotten up to 65% of what is needed to
prosecute this war
6. The good thing is that they've not been killed. They
(Chibok girls) are still alive because when terrorists kill
they display.
7. We can't just move in with artilleries and clear the
place. Because they (Boko Haram) may use them
(Chibok girls) as shields so we are working with the
global best practices.
8. I've not discussed with anybody on earth or even in my
dream whether Jega will stay or not.
9. We spend almost close to $50b a year importing auto
parts and vehicles. That's why we're encouraging made
in Nigeria vehicles, which will create more jobs for
Nigerians.
0. PDP is still the dominant party, there's no polling unit
where you don't have PDP members. PDP still has
better chances of willing a national election. PDP still
has an edge over every other party, I am not worried
about the outcome.
