Borno Governor Accuses Information Minister of Ignorance on Security Crisis
Maiduguri, Nigeria – Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum has publicly criticised Nigeria’s Minister of Information, accusing him of being out of touch with the country’s security challenges.
Speaking to the media, Zulum described the minister as "naive" and unaware of the ongoing crises plaguing the nation, particularly in Borno.
"I believe he is naive about what is happening in the country; he doesn’t know what is ongoing," Zulum said, highlighting what he perceives as a disconnect between the minister and the realities on the ground.
The governor’s remarks come amid heightened concerns over security in Borno, a state long battered by insurgent violence. Zulum’s comments have sparked debate about the federal government’s communication strategy and its grasp of regional issues.
