Opinion: Is Governor Zulum Telling An Inconvenient Truth About the Fight On Terror?, By Frank Nweke II
Is Governor Zulum telling the country something we would rather not hear? Is it possible that he has stepped on forbidden grounds? Is he attempting to forcibly wean some people off their addiction to the national honey pot, which is diverted, albeit to sustain this unending war on terror? Has the war against terrorism and insurgency created a cash cow for some unscrupulous and unpatriotic politicians and military...
The video clip went viral online in the last 24 hours, after news of the attack was first reported by local and international media. Given the grim statistics of Boko Haram’s reign of terror, and the series of prior high profile attacks on military bases, alongside military and humanitarian convoys, one would wonder why the attack on Governor Zulum is different.
Through his hands-on approach to governance, Governor Zulum has sent a strong message to public servants and citizens alike that under his watch, he is determined to justify the mandate freely given to him by the people of Borno State, by investing in the human capital development and infrastructural reconstruction of the State ravaged by insurgency.
In a way, Governor Zulum has emerged as an activist of sorts over the last one year of his governorship, and he has elicited my personal admiration. Maiduguri holds a special place in my heart because of the time I spent there in Shehu Garbai Primary School; Federal Government College, Maiduguri; and the University of Maiduguri, cumulatively, between 1976 and 1999.
The force of conviction with which he has interrogated past claims of the security forces and his vehement challenge of the claims by the military officer in the video clip, should worry us all because it raises the question of whether some people want Governor Zulum dead.
