The Northern Governors’ Forum has
condemned the attack on the convoy of Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno State.
It described the attack as
callous and reprehensible.
The Chairman of the forum and
governor of Plateau, Simon Lalong, made the condemnation in a statement by his
Director of Press and Public Affairs, Dr Makut Macham.
He said the attack on the
governor’s convoy on his way to Baga in Kukawa Local Government Area of the
state was an act to frustrate his efforts in ensuring the well-being of the vulnerable
in the state.
The governor expressed concern
that Zulum was attacked while on the way to distribute palliatives to
Internally Displaced Persons for the Sallah celebration.
Lalong said the incident was a
desperate attempt by criminal elements to sabotage Zulum’s efforts toward
reducing the sufferings of IDPs who had been traumatised by terrorists.
“This regrettable attack shows
the desperation by enemies of peace and humanity at large to jeopardise all
efforts towards making life easier for victims of violence in the state over
the years.
”The Northern Governors Forum
strongly condemns this attack and stands with Gov. Zulum who has demonstrated
courage in personally reaching out to people in need despite the dangers.
”We urge him not to be deterred
as he keeps working with security agencies to protect the lives and property of
the people,” he said.
