Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, has called for a power
shift to Southern Nigeria in the next administration.
Governor Zulum stated this on Thursday while delivering a
lecture on security and economic growth at a book launch by former
Director-General of NIMASA, Dakuku Peterside, with the title”Strategic
Turnaround”.
He urged the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to heed
his advice and keep to previous agreements made to shift power to the southern
part of the country in the next administration.
The governor used the opportunity to blame poor handling of the Boko Haram insurgency in the early years and corruption of government officials for the insecurity in the country.
He added that the mistake Nigeria made that has led to the
banditry in the country is ignoring poor countries around us.
He claimed that “if Nigeria had emulated some European
countries and empowered their poorer neighbours the situation would have been
mitigated”.
According to the governor, military interventions and even
national restructuring cannot stop the crisis, he is calling for strategic
leadership and social re-orientation to end the insecurity in the country.
