Babagana Zulum, governor of Borno, says the people of his
state have not lost hope in President Muhammadu Buhari.
The governor said this while reacting to the president’s
visit to the state on Wednesday.
Buhari had visited the state to condole with the people over
the Boko Haram attack which led to the loss of 30 lives in Auno, a community
near Maiduguri.
But some of the people, who lined the streets of Maiduguri
as the president’s convoy moved in, booed Buhari.
Garba Shehu, presidential spokesman, had said those who
booed Buhari were paid.
But in a statement by Isa Gusau, his spokesman, Zulum said
the president’s visit showed he cared about the people of Borno.
“Mr President, sir, your empathy for the good people of
Borno state has never been with the slightest doubt. In fact, it has been so
obvious. Your trip to Maiduguri on Wednesday, straight from an international
engagement strongly reinforced what we already know of your compassion for the
people of Borno,” he said.
“Your visit was more than a show of empathy. It strengthened
our hope especially because in private, you gave us listening ears with
reaffirmation of the commitment you have always had, to ending the Boko Haram
insurgency. It is public knowledge that you have since day one of assuming
office, made our security, humanitarian and economic situation topmost in your
list of national priorities.
“Mr President, sir, Borno has not and will lose hope in you.
We believe in you because no one can correctly question your sincerity of
purpose. We will continue to hope and pray that God uses your presidency to
grant us enduring peace and security in Borno state, rest of the northeast and
the whole of our dear country, Nigeria.”
