Insurgency: The President needs to know the truth, some elements are trying to frustrate efforts in the N/East – Zulum
Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum believes some elements are trying to frustrate the efforts of the government in ending insurgency in the country and the President needs to know the truth.
He insisted that there is sabotage in the system that will not allow the insurgency to end in the North East.
He said this on Sunday when he met with the Governors of Kebbi and Jigawa States, Atiku Bagudu and Badaru Abubakar, who paid him a solidarity visit over the recent attack in Baga – a town in Borno.
“Let me also re-echo my previous position with respect to the level of insurgency in Borno State, I earlier said that the gravity of the insurgency cannot be compared with what has happened between 2011 to 2015, and 2015 to date. Yes, it’s true. The President has done well”.
“But there’s sabotage in the system that will not allow insurgency to end the President has to know this very important point.”
“When he came to Maiduguri two months ago, I said so because between 2011 to 2015, at a time almost about 22 LGAs were under the insurgents”.
He stressed the need for President Muhammadu Buhari to examine the security situation in the region critically, to ensure the effort of his administration was not in vain.
Also present was the immediate past Governor of Borno, Senator Kashim Shettima, as well as Senator Ali Ndume and members of the State Executive Council.
