Pamoja na kuwa Rais Goodluck Jonathan hakutaka nchi jirani kuisadia nchi yake kupambana na Boko Haram, ushirika wao katika wiki chache unaweza kuisaidia Naijeria kusitisha harakati za magaidi hawa za kutaka kuitawala nchi hii, jambo ambalo linaweza kuchukuliwa kuwa ni moja ya manufaa itakayopata chama tawala kutokana na kuahirishwa jwa uchaguzi.
