Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno State has said he cannot be silent in the midst of killings by terrorists.
He said this is because he had entered a covenant with God to defend the people of Borno by the oath he took on May 29, 2019.
A statement titled ‘Boko Haram: Why I can’t be silent, Zulum explains to APC governors’ noted that the Governor of Jigawa State, Muhammadu Abubakar, was also on the entourage. Zulum said, “Our people need to be provided safe access to farmlands so they can earn livelihoods. The military needs to ensure this happens and I will continue to raise this. I remain resolute, firm, and committed, only God can give power.But for me as a Governor to keep quiet while six million population of Borno State die and perish will never be good for me. It is a covenant between me and Almighty God that I should be truthful to my people.
“There is one very important portion that we need to address, why is the insurgency not ending? I repeat, there is sabotage in the system, therefore, the President needs to examine the current security situation in the region with a view to resolving it in a sustainable manner.”
