I can’t be intimated by insurgents’ threats — Borno gov – TheNigerialawyer

Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno State on Wednesday said he
would not be deterred by insurgents’ intimidation and attacks in
some resettled communities in the past weeks in the state.

Zulum, who spoke at the inauguration of the Nigeria Security and
Civil Defence Corps Agro-Ranger squad, said his administration
remained committed to ending insurgency and restoring peace to the
state.

“Let me assure our people that the recent intimidations by
insurgents at Gajiram; Gajiganna, Dalori, and Gubio will never
deter us from our commitments to finding peace and stability in the
state.

“We will not be frightened, we will not fear any threat, it
rather increases our commitment and resilience until we find
peace.

“During my inaugural address; I pledged my commitment towards
upholding Section 14 (1b) of the constitution that categorically
states that the security and welfare of the people are the primary
purposes of government.

“I am ready and ever committed to ensuring the fulfillment of
that pledge,” he said.

Zulum said the state government would continue to collaborate
with the military, police and other security agencies to protect
lives and property.

The governor further renewed calls for insurgents to surrender
for de-radicalisation and reintegration into society.
