Zulum Angry Over Reports Of Violence By PDP, APC, Supporters In Borno

Borno State Governor, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum, has expressed sadness over reports of violence largely involving some supporters of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, during their  recent campaigns.

Zulum, in a statement issued on Thursday by his spokesman Malam Isa Gusau, directed the Borno State’s Commissioner of Police to investigate and ensure all culprits are arrested and prosecuted.

Below is Zulum’s full statement as he was quoted:

“I have received reports on renewed acts of political violence in the state. I strongly condemn these extremely unnecessary acts of violence and hereby direct the Commissioner of Police  and the DSS to immediately investigate and ensure anyone involved is made to face the full wrath of the law.”

“I am directing heads of security agencies under the Borno State security council to immediately convene a meeting with critical representatives of all major political parties, particularly the APC and PDP, get them to sign undertakings and strikingly warn against all acts of violence with punitive measures rolled out for any culprit, especially politicians who might be instigating violence, no matter how highly placed they might be.”

“In the meantime, I strongly urge supporters of all political parties not to disseminate false statements that can insight violence. We should endeavor to promote peace,” Gov Zulum said in flaying the violence among supporters of the PDP and APC in Borno State.
