Zulum Dismisses Claims of Favoring Candidates for APC Congress

@BornoGovt State Governor, Professor Babagana Umara @ProfZulum, has firmly dismissed rumours circulating that he has anointed individuals for executive positions in the forthcoming All Progressives Congress (@OfficialAPCNg) party congresses.

In a statement by his Special Adviser on Media, Dauda Iliya, the Governor described the claims as the handiwork of mischief-makers seeking to cause disaffection within the party.

Governor Zulum emphasised that he has not in any fora endorsed any candidate for any party position, whether in Gwoza Local Government Area or any of the state’s 27 local government areas.

“Let me categorically state that I have not anointed any person for the position of Chairman or Secretary of APC in Gwoza local government in the forthcoming party congress. I wish to also stress that I have not anointed any person for any position in the APC congress in any of the 27 local government areas,” Governor Zulum stated.

He further called on party members to disregard the false information, saying, “I am calling on our party faithful and supporters to disregard the rumour as it is a calculated attempt to create disaffection and derail the party from its trajectory.”

The Governor instead urged party stakeholders to continue constructive consultations aimed at identifying credible candidates to be fielded for all party positions.

Gov. Zulum’s N100 Billion Security Investment Speaks Louder Than Critics

By Yusuf Ali

When Governor Babagana Umara Zulum stated that the Borno State Government has spent over ₦100 billion on security in 2025, as reported during his visit to Uba by Daily Trust, it was a statement of fact—not an exaggeration, not propaganda. Yet, predictable voices have chosen to raise eyebrows, question figures, and attempt to cast doubt on an investment that is not only justified but clearly reflected in the improved safety across the state.

The question that must be asked is simple: Do these critics truly understand the cost of securing a frontline state like Borno? Or are they deliberately ignoring the reality that state governments today now shoulder enormous security responsibilities that go far beyond conventional budgeting?

The era when the Federal Government alone handled all aspects of security logistics is long gone. Today, Borno State Government directly funds and supports security operations through: procurement of operational and armoured vehicles, provision of fuel and logistics, welfare and allowances for troops and security personnel,
construction and rehabilitation of security formations, support for intelligence and surveillance operations, and care and support for families of fallen heroes.

All these come at a colossal cost. Security is no longer cheap, especially in a state that has remained at the epicentre of insurgency for over a decade.

Indeed, the large security vehicles procured within the last ten months alone represent only a fraction of the massive security assets acquired under Governor Zulum’s administration. Beyond the visible equipment are numerous other sophisticated security hardware and operational tools which, for strategic and security reasons, cannot be publicly itemized.

However, the people of Borno do not need to see every asset listed to feel their impact. The evidence is all around us—in improved safety, faster response to threats, stronger security presence, and growing confidence among citizens.

No matter how much Governor Zulum invests in security, one truth remains indisputable: the investments are visible, measurable, and deeply felt by the people of Borno and visitors alike. Markets are reopening. Farmers are returning to their fields. Communities once deserted are slowly breathing again. These are not media impressions; they are lived realities.

It is therefore unfortunate that some persons prefer to play politics with security, attempting to downplay genuine sacrifices made to safeguard lives. No amount of campaign of calumny will prosper against Governor Zulum, because his actions continue to speak louder than the noise of detractors. Every patrol on the highway, every secured community, every successful military operation supported by state resources is a clear testament to purposeful leadership.

Governor Zulum has consistently demonstrated that security is not an area for lip service or shortcuts. He understands that peace is the foundation upon which development rests—and he has chosen to invest heavily in that foundation, regardless of the cost.

The people of Borno understand this reality better than anyone else. They see the security presence. They feel the difference. They experience the renewed sense of hope. That is why Borno stands firmly behind Governor Zulum, confident that his leadership is guided by sincerity, courage, sacrifice, and tangible results.

Security is expensive—but peace is priceless. And today in Borno, that investment is gradually restoring stability, dignity, and the promise of a safer future.

“We are behind you,” Zulum addresses armed forces in Damboa

@BornoGovt State Governor, Professor Babagana Umara @ProfZulum, on Saturday, addressed troops of 25 Task Force Brigade of Nigerian Army, declaring the state's and its people's support for their relentless fight against Boko Haram/ISWAP insurgents.

The governor, speaking at a front-line military base in Damboa, sympathised deeply with the officers and soldiers, acknowledging the immense personal sacrifice and hard work they put in daily. He commended what he described as their "giant effort and supreme sacrifice" in the ongoing battle to secure Borno State and protect civilians from the threats of Boko Haram and Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP).

Zulum stated, “On behalf of the government and good people of Borno State. We are here in Damboa purposely to commiserate with you over the recent setback which claimed the lives of some of your colleagues.

It is an unfortunate event, and I want to extend my condolences to you and the families of all the officers and men of this brigade who lost their lives while discharging their duties. We pray to Almighty Allah to heal those injured in action as soon as possible.

For those of you who are still alive and healthy, we pray that God will protect you, give you the vision and strength to carry out your duties effectively. You have been doing very well. We have acknowledged your support and would like to commend you.

I want to once again sympathise with you on behalf of the government and good people of Borno State, and to assure you that we will do everything possible within the resources available to us to support your mission and vision to end the crisis.”

The governor was received by the Brigade Commander of 25 Task Force Brigade, Brigadier General Igwe Patrick Omokeh.

The visit was part of Zulum’s tour of communities in southern Borno. Earlier in the day, the governor met with grieving families in Chibok, where he commiserated with them over the loss of lives and property, offering condolences and immediate relief to those that
lost properties.

During the Chibok meeting, the governor announced concrete measures to protect lives and property. He noted that the state government, in collaboration with the federal government and security agencies, is implementing enhanced measures to protect vulnerable communities against future attacks.

“We are here to offer our condolences over what happened these past days in Chibok general area, especially to those who lost their lives. The situation is painful. We are here to show our sorrow over what happened.

Death comes at its appointed time. We offer you our condolences and assure you that, God willing, the issue of insecurity in Chibok will be resolved. We will provide a permanent solution and put an end to it.

We will take action. Please be patient. Our thoughts are with you, and one thing that made me happy is how you have remained calm and stayed in your communities despite everything,” Zulum said. The governor announced financial assistance of N1 million to the bereaved families and N500,000 to those whose properties were destroyed during the recent unfortunate attacks.

One Month Without Baba Buhari

Exactly one month ago today, we lost a leader whose name, character and legacy will forever be etched in our hearts — my boss, mentor and a father figure, President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR.

The grief remains as fresh as it was on that day, on July 13th, when Mallam Garba Shehu sent the message at exactly 5:05PM. For those of us privileged to walk closely with him, his passing is more than a national loss, it is a personal void that can never truly be filled. His life embodied discipline, integrity, humility and a commitment to Nigeria and the people.

I remain eternally grateful for the rare opportunity he gave me to serve under his guidance. Through his leadership, he not only shaped the destiny of our country but also shaped the character and convictions of those around him. Our loyalty to him was never in question, it will forever remain at 100% unshaken and undiluted levels.

As we continue on with our own journeys, we carry his values with us, the patience to see through the toughest battles and the faith to trust in God’s plan. We will remember you, Baba, not just in words but in the way we live, work and serve. Thank you, Baba.

Until the very end of my time, I will remember him, honor him and pray for him. May Allah (SWT) grant him Jannah al-Firdaus, forgive his shortcomings and reward him abundantly for his service to our nation and humanity.

Baba, you may be gone from our sight, but never from our hearts.

Demonstrating immediate commitment, Governor Zulum authorised an initial deposit of N250 million to cover transplants for 50 indigent patients.

The governor made the announcement during the 110th General Meeting of the Committee of Chief Medical Directors and Medical Directors of Federal Tertiary Institutions in Nigeria, alongside the commissioning of epoch-making projects at UMTH.

He confirmed that the remaining N750 million would be disbursed in three instalments.

"I am pleased to announce that Borno State government will deposit the sum of N250 million to support the kidney transplant of 50 patients. I am ready to contribute N1 billion as government’s contribution towards supporting the less privileged indigenes of the State ," Zulum stated.
"The Borno State government, therefore, pledges to support this initiative and is ready to provide all the partnership required to sustain the provision of kidney transplant to less privileged patients at UMTH. This is only the beginning—I promise to do even more," he added.

Governor Zulum commended UMTH for its strides in specialised healthcare, particularly its recent successful kidney transplants.

"I was told both the patients and donors are doing very well. Indeed, this is a landmark achievement and a great relieve to patients most importantly to those who cannot afford the cost of transplant," he remarked.

"We are committed to ensuring that Maternal and Newborn Mortality Reduction Innovation Initiative succeeds in providing comprehensive antenatal care, emergency obstetric services, skilled birth attendance, postnatal follow-up and routine immunisation to protect our children from preventable diseases," he stressed.

President Tinubu has submitted a request to the Senate for authorization to borrow 21.5 billion dollars, EUR 2.1 billion and 15 billion yen. It also seeks a grant of 65 million euros.

President said in a letter: “In the light of the removal of the fuel subsidy and its impact on the national economy, approval is called for the borrowing plan, which amounts to USD 21,543,647,912, and EUR 2,193,856,324.54. And in Japanese Yen, 15 billion Yen and grant of 65 million, respectively.

“This initiative aims to generate employment, promote skill acquisition, foster entrepreneurship, reduce poverty, and enhance food security, as well as to improve the livelihoods of Nigerian. Majority of these projects and programs will be implemented across all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory. 

“In light of the significant infrastructure deficit in the country and the power of financial resources needed to address this gap amid declining domestic demand, it has become essential to pursue prudent economic borrowing to close the financial shortfall.

“These funds will primarily be directed towards critical infrastructural projects, including railways, healthcare among others. Given the market nature of these needs and the importance of stabilizing the economy, it is crucial to seek the consideration and approval of the House of Representatives for the 2025-2026 External Borrowing Plan.

“This will enable the government to fulfill its obligations to the Nigerian people through timely disbursement and effective project implementation.”
