Governor Zulum Claims Some People Profit from Boko Haram Insurgency
Borno State Governor, Professor Babagana Zulum, has alleged that certain individuals are benefiting financially from the prolonged insurgency caused by Boko Haram and are reluctant to see it end.
In an interview with BBC Hausa, the governor lamented how these individuals, who profit from the crisis in the Northeast and neighboring Chad, are hindering efforts to combat the insurgency.
“There are people who don’t want this insecurity to end because they will not be happy with that,” Zulum stated.
While acknowledging progress in the fight against the insurgents, he expressed concern about the resurgence of Boko Haram fighters who have returned to the region after being driven out of Chad.
Zulum called for unity among citizens and urged them to support security agencies to tackle the menace effectively. However, the governor refrained from naming those allegedly profiting from the crisis.
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the recent abduction incident in Oyo State.
It can be recalled that schools were attacked by armed men, with some teachers and students reportedly taken. Some people were also killed during the attack.
CAN cried out on behalf of the public, stating “It is intolerable, disgraceful and utterly unacceptable that Nigerian children can no longer sit safely in classrooms without the fear of being kidnapped by armed gangs.”
The organisation also stated that Nigerians are tired of constantly mourning and questioning when something will finally be done to stop the violence.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has revealed that seven teachers were abducted following a recent attack on a school in the state.
It was also shared that the number of students taken is still being investigated.
The governor further revealed that some people were killed during the attack and abduction.
He also added “With the pressure on the terrorists and the bandits in the North-West, they will keep moving southward.”
“When you have pressure in one place, we must be prepared on this side to either repel or neutralise any terrorists fleeing the pressure points.”
