He was gay and unmarried, leaving behind no offspring to pollute the world.”
Zulum Conducts Official State Duties from Biu, Meets Security Chiefs
@BornoGovt State Governor, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum, on Thursday, performed his official government duties from the Zonal Department of Monitoring, Evaluation and Special Projects Office in Biu, Biu local government area.
This underscores his administration’s commitment to grassroots governance and bringing government closer to the people.
The Biu Zonal Office which operates under the Governor’s Office, was established and commissioned by Governor Zulum in 2022 to strengthen public service delivery, enhance accountability, improve project monitoring and evaluation, and accelerate infrastructural development across Southern Borno Senatorial zone.
Similar zonal offices have also been established in Monguno and Bama to serve the Northern and Central Senatorial Districts, respectively.
Thursday’s engagement marked the first time Governor @ProfZulum officially operated from the Biu Zonal Office since its establishment, making a significant milestone in the decentralisation of government operations.
The Governor while in the office met with Sector 2 Commander of Operation Hadin Kai, Brigadier General Edet Effiong, and the Brigade Commander, 29 Taskforce Brigade, Benishiekh, on how to consolidate on the recent gains in the counter insurgency operations.
The Governor’s decision to conduct official state business from the facility reflects his leadership philosophy of taking governance to the grassroots rather than confining government activities to Maiduguri.
Throughout the past seven years, Governor Zulum has maintained a unique style to governance, travelling extensively across all 27 local government areas to personally assess projects and engage directly with the communities.
In addition to operating from the Government House, the Governor has, since assuming office in 2019, regularly conducted official functions from Musa Usman Secretariat, which serves as his second operational office for attending to state affairs.
Governor Zulum is currently on a working tour of Southern Borno. On Wednesday, he flagged off the 2026 Wet Farming Season and launched the sales and distribution of 200 truckloads of NPK fertiliser at 50 per cent subsidised rates, alongside the distribution of free agrochemicals, knapsack sprayers, certified seeds, water pumps and 10,000 bicycles to smallholder farmers in Kwaya Kusar Local Government Area.
During the visit to Biu, the Governor also announced the employment of 100 unemployed graduates from Biu Local Government Area as part of measures to tackle youth restiveness, political thuggery and other social vices. The announcement was made during a courtesy visit to the Emir of Biu, Alhaji (Dr.) Mustapha Umar Mustapha II.
Governor Zulum also met with members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) serving in Biu, where he announced a welfare package of ₦50,000 for each corps member.
As part of the intervention, corps members who are nursing mothers will receive an additional ₦200,000 each, while the NYSC Zonal Inspector was given ₦250,000. Other NYSC officials, including the Liaison Officer, received ₦100,000 each in recognition of their service and commitment.
Allahu Akbar 🚀the verse the Iranians chose in-front of the Saudi delegation at Shaheed Sayed Ali’s funeral is a kill shot 🚀🚀 It was beyond cinematic and will be remembered as a story of great legend.
Iran's Supreme leader AYATOLLAH ALI KHAMENEI left behind no palaces, no bank accounts, and no fortune after 47 years in POWER... No luxury yachts. No hidden billions. No golden thrones. Just one simple life serving his people.
1.3 billion naira released to a fake agency in Nigeria but 36 million was released to the Ministry of Health.
They prioritize stealing over your well-being.
The APC.
I just read the statement issued by Bayo Onanuga on behalf of the Presidency, which supposedly trying to put a defence for the Chief of staff, Gbajabiamila.
However, I think the Presidency's statement was clearly intended to shut down public scrutiny. Ironically, it has achieved the exact opposite. It answered some questions, but in doing so, it exposed even bigger ones.
Let us assume, for a moment, that every allegation against Prince Adeyemi is true. Even then, the statement leaves glaring gaps that no amount of rhetoric can paper over.
You are asking Nigerians to believe that one private citizen woke up one morning, invented a presidential agency, forged his own appointment, secured office space inside the Federal Secretariat, recruited staff, held meetings with diplomats, corresponded with government institutions, allegedly opened a CBN account through official channels, and if the official budget documents are anything to go by, the same "non-existent" agency found its way into the Appropriation Act with an allocation running into billions.
If that is truly what happened, then this is no longer just the story of an alleged fraudster. It is also the story of spectacular institutional failure. Either government systems were astonishingly easy to deceive, or there are questions that still have not been answered.
The statement conveniently glosses over the budget issue. That silence is deafening.
How does a fictitious agency appear in the national budget? Budget allocations do not descend from heaven. They pass through ministries, the Budget Office, executive review and legislative approval. Who introduced the line item? Who processed it? Who signed off on it? Who failed to ask whether the agency even existed?
Those are not political questions. They are governance questions.
Then there is the issue of the Federal Secretariat office. Offices inside government complexes are not roadside kiosks. How was the space obtained? Under whose authority? How long did it operate? Who interacted with the occupants? Who looked the other way?
Again, silence.
Then comes the most curious part of the story.
The Presidency says the very person allegedly identified as the link between Adeyemi and the purported appointment, Dolapo Babatunde Tanimola, had died in a hotel fire just five days before Adeyemi's arrest.
That is an extraordinary detail. Yet we are given almost nothing beyond it.
Was there an autopsy? Was there a coroner's inquest? What did investigators conclude about the fire? Were his electronic devices, communications and financial records examined? If he was central enough to be named in the statement, why is the public expected not to ask what became of the investigation into his death?
These are not conspiracy theories. They are the obvious questions any serious investigator would ask.
The Presidency wants Nigerians to focus exclusively on whether Adeyemi is an impostor. Fair enough. The courts will determine that.
But the Presidency cannot ask the public to ignore the conduct of government institutions in the same breath.
This is bigger than one man.
If the council was fake, explain how it entered the budget.
If the appointment was forged, explain how government systems repeatedly interacted with the supposed beneficiary.
If official channels were deceived, explain where the safeguards failed.
If there was no insider involvement, show the documentary trail that proves it.
Accountability does not begin and end with charging one individual. It also requires explaining how the machinery of government appeared to validate, accommodate or fail to detect what is now described as a complete fabrication.
The public deserves more than a carefully written press statement. It deserves answers backed by records, timelines and evidence.
Until those answers are provided, this matter is far from settled.

Ask people in CBN. You can't use deception to open an account in CBN. You can't. They verify these things. There are processes.
The earlier we started speaking he truth, the better for the image of the county.
