Security situation has improved in Borno under President Buhari despite killings – Governor Zulum

Governor of Borno State, Babagana Zulum, has said despite the recent killing of 43 farmers in the state by Boko Haram, the security situation in Borno has improved under the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.

The governor stated this 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 in Maiduguri on Sunday.

He also heaped praises on Buhari as being better at handling the nation’s security than his predecessors, especially Goodluck Jonathan.

In a statement released on Monday titled ‘Zulum: Despite killings, statewide records show Buhari did better in Borno’, Zulum was quoted 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”.
