Insecurity: Despite the recent happenings in Borno and entire North East, it is far better under Buhari – Governor Zulum
Governor Zulum has said that despite the recent insecurity situations in Borno state and the North east as a whole, it is still better under the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari.
He said this quoting the statewide statistics on affairs in the 27 local government areas since 2011
Zulum stated this on Sunday, December 6, while addressing northern elders from the Arewa Consultative Forum in Maiduguri, who visited in reaction to Boko Haram’s beheading of over 40 farmers in Zabarmari.
“From statewide statistics on affairs in the 27 local government areas since 2011, the fact is that despite the recent happenings in Borno State, the security situation in Borno State and indeed that of the Entire North East Sub-region is still far better under Buhari, and this is based on records,” the Governor said.
“For instance, unlike the years before Buhari when a number of local government were no-go-areas, we now have citizens led by our traditional rulers, safely back to Bama, Gwoza, Askira-Uba, Dikwa, Ngala, Monguno, Kukawa, Damboa, Konduga, Mafa, all of which no one could visit not talk of living there. Our emirs were all in exile. Today, Bama is coming back to live and so is Askira-Uba, Damboa, Gwoza and others. Live is even returning go Baga. This was impossible before Buhari.
“In fact was not possible to move few kilometers out of Maiduguri. Insurgents were so bold to attack and take over military facilities like the army barrack at Monguno, Bama, Giwa Barrack and Multinational Joint Task Force Headquarters at Baga to mention just a few.
“There were daily attacks bomb blasts in many parts of Maiduguri, the most populated part of the state but all of these have stopped under Buhari. These are the records and no one can dispute these records” Zulum said. The governor however indicated it was human nature to be more concerned about current realities than comparing the past and present.
“The insurgents by their nature, always want to attract publicity which is very strategic for terror propaganda, so they resorted to attacking our communities and running away and of course this worries us.” Zulum added.
The governor further noted the people will remain optimistic and keep doing their part in shared efforts to find sustainable peace in the state. He also thanked the elders and all groups who paid similar visits to Borno in show of solidarity and support to citizens with humanitarian needs.
These northern politicians and their crude system of politics sef
I really wonder..o
See what this one is saying……real suffering and smiling
the security people should do something about the insecurities
Despite all what is happening in your state, you still have the guts to protect president buhari and his security chiefs, I don’t know what to say.
Sultan of sokoto abubakar Saad recent just condemn the killings in northern part of the country, but now you come out and saying another thing entirely then who is deceiving who?
You say the truth and let the truth set you free. Don’t deceive yourself that all is well, in your region we have bandits, bokoharam and kidnappers carried out their atrocities everyday without relax. You better speak up.
Wether everything is going smoothly or not, we shall see. You better don’t deceive yourself with the money you are taking from the federal government. You have been attacked three times with many lives lost then what do you mean?
If you didn’t support your tribes man then who will…. But all the same na your people they suffer the consequences…..
You we soon die if you continue saying that nonsense.
Maybe you were On exile when Obasanjo and Goodluck were the president of the Country. If your Buhari regime is far better why then did he tell Goodluck Jonathan to come and explain how he managed the country’s economy and everything was normal.
Be comparing till all of you will die finish.
