Boko Haram: Zulum Receives New Army Head After Message To Buhari

Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno State on Thursday received the new Army commander in Borno.

The development was disclosed by the state government in a post on Facebook.

“Zulum received the new Garrison Commander 7 Division, Nigerian Army. He was accompanied by the outgoing Garrison Commander, Brigadier General Sunday Igbinomwanhia”, it read.

“The Governor has presented a souvenir to the outgoing Garrison Commander, Brigadier General Sunday Igbinomwanhia in appreciation of his service to Borno State.”

This is coming a few days after the Borno State Governor an SOS on the security situation in Borno State to President Muhammadu Buhari.

Zulum in his statement noted that the sabotage in the system is what is forestalling the defeat of Boko Haram.

Zulum spoke on Sunday when his counterparts from Kebbi and Jigawa, Atiku Bagudu and Badaru Abubakar, paid him a visit after the Baga attack.

“I earlier said that the gravity of the insurgency cannot be compared with what has happened between 2011 to 2015, and 2015 to date.”

Noting that Buhari has done well, the governor declared: “But there’s sabotage in the system that will not allow the insurgency to end.”
