SECURITY SITUATION UNDER PRESIDENT BUHARI HAS IMPROVED IN BORNO DESPITE KILLINGS - GOVERNOR BABAGANA ZULUM
Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, on Monday, December 6, said the security situation in the State has improved under the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Zulum's commendation comes despite the recent massacre of about 43 farmers in the State by Boko Haram insurgents.
The Governor made the disclosure in Maiduguri when he received Northern elders from the Area Consultative forum.
Zulum said; “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."
Zulum revealed that prior to the President Buhari regime, it was not possible to move around Maiduguri. He said that insurgents consistently attacked and took over Military facilities like the army barracks at Monguno, Bama, Giwa Barrack and the Multinational Joint Task Force Headquarters at Baga.
“There were daily bomb blasts attacks 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,” Governor Zulum said.
