LP Gov’ship Candidate Accuses Zulum Of Unhealthy Campaign In Borno Politics Zulum
Zulum is seeking reelection in the Saturday election.
Mshelia, during a press conference yesterday in Abuja lambasted the governor for publicly inciting the citizens to take to violence should the APC candidates lose at the polls while he was campaigning in Biu, Southern Borno. The LP governorship candidate quoted Zulum whom he said spoke in Hausa Language at the campaign as saying: “During the forthcoming elections, we are voting for governorship, stand up and make sure our votes are high. Let’s also have all the nine seats in the State House of Assembly in Southern Borno. I don’t want any one of them to lose. I am the governor; I have apologized to everyone in this zone. But I will like to tell you something, only God gives power.
Reacting however, Mshelia said, “I strongly condemn this statement as electoral violence can breed unimaginable consequences and a governor should not be seen to promote election violence. “I am peace loving and I have been running my campaigns based on real issues and not issuing threats to opposition parties like the governor has done.
