A Borno traditional Chief, Alhaji Zanna Hassan Boguma has said
that despite claims, President Muhammadu Buhari has failed to
tackle the issue of insecurity especially in the North East.
Alhaji Hassan who is the Zanna Boguma of Borno stated this in an
interview revealed that the escalation of attacks by the Boko
Haram on soft targets, the issue of kidnapping on highways and the
systematic dislocation of communities that were living around the
metropolis, are issues of grave security concern that have
continued unabated.
Boguma who is also a member of the Northern Elders Forum, NEF,
berated the Presidency for not doing enough on developmental
efforts in the Northern Region despite their immense contribution
to his victories in the polls.
As far as Nigeria is concerned Buhari only appointed our
sons into positions but theyhaven’t done enough in terms
of development. Northerners are being killed by terrorists and
armed bandits without solution in sight. General Buhari, yes! We
northerners voted for him, the massive votes that came out from
North was the reason why he is President of this country now.” He
told Arewa Agenda.
Boguma recalled how Northern Elders Forum worked hard for Buhari
to become President, including lobbying the United States of
America to support his candidacy.

“We went up to America to influence the United State’s
Government to support the cause of change in Nigeria, we did that.
The Northern Elders Forum sent a delegations which I am also part
of that delegation, we went to Washington, we met with all those
that matters in America from Department of State to that of Justice
to all other Agencies of Government, we spoke to them about
insecurity, we spoke to them about corruption in this country of
which Buhari is always talking about, but unfortunately, Buhari in
five years hasn’t done enough to remedy the situation the previous
Government was accused of,” he stated bitterly.
While expressing hope that President Buhari can do better in the
remaining three years of his tenure, Boguma who is also the State
Project Coordinator Youth Empowerment and Social Support Operation
(YESO), called on the youths to be self reliant as well as good
citizens of the country.
