Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, has said despite the recent killing of at least 43 rice farmers in the state by the Boko Haram terrorists, the security situation in the state has improved under the regime of the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).
The governor stated this on Sunday in Maiduguri when he
received northern elders from the Arewa Consultative Forum led by the Chairman
of the forum’s Board of Trustees, Ambassador Shehu Malami, and the forum’s
Executive Chairman, Audu Ogbeh.
This was contained in a statement released by the Borno
State Government on Monday titled ‘Zulum: Despite killings, statewide records
show Buhari did better in Borno’.
The statement quoted Zulum as saying, “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.
“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 life and so are Askira-Uba, Damboa, Gwoza, and others. Life is even
returning go Baga. This was impossible before Buhari.
“In fact, it was not possible to move a 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 stated.
The governor, however, added that it was human nature to be
more concerned about current realities than comparing the past to the present.
Zulum thanked the elders and all groups who paid similar
visits to Borno in solidarity with the people over the recent tragedy. He also
said the people of the state will remain optimistic and keep doing their part
in shared efforts to find sustainable peace.
