Borno group comes for Governor Shettima over statement on Buhari, Boko Haram

The Borno State stakeholders have condemned the recent remark by the state governor Kashim Shettima over the ongoing unrest in the state.

The Borno Stakeholders Foundation, the umbrella group for concerned stakeholders from the three senatorial zones in Borno state, on Tuesday, January 1.

Reacting to a statement credited to Shettima during a security meeting to discuss the state of insecurity in Borno state, the group said it was unfair for the governor to mention that the President Muhammadu Buhari administration has not done its best in area of security in the state.

The national president of the foundation, Shettima Ali Adamu, in a statement said the governor has refused to make life meaningful for the people of the state, despite the availability of resources at his disposal.

According to Adamu, issues of unemployment have consistently remained on a high level giving the youths in the state more reasons to pitch the tent with the Boko Haram group.

Adamu also said the governor has failed to admit that his government has not deemed it fit to provide the needed necessary infrastructure in the communities that were liberated from the Boko Haram strongholds.

He said: "The Borno Stakeholders Foundation also challenges Governor Shetima Kashim to tell the whole world what he did with local government funds in the past seven years and why the Borno State chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) threatened to go on strike over unpaid gratuities to workers in the past five years."

"The Governor might also wish to tell the whole world how he has been mismanaging funds meant for the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in the state in the past seven years.

"Given the stated facts, the Borno Stakeholders Foundation wishes to call to order the actions of Governor Shetima Kashim which could be best described as the “Voice of Jacob and the Hands of Esau” as there is more than meets the eyes in the various security threats currently experienced in Borno state.

"The Borno Stakeholders Foundation has over time advocated for transparency and accountability in governance in Borno state, given the resources at its disposal, it should in the least be able to provide for its citizens especially in the areas of necessities of life. But ironically, this hasn’t been the case of governance under Governor Kashim Shettima," the foundation noted.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that Nigeria's former vice president and presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has said, he knows how Boko Haram started in the country.

Legit.ng gathered that in an interview with The African Reports, which he shared on his verified Twitter handle, @atiku, Atiku said that, politicians were to be blamed for the emergence of Boko Haram in Nigeria.

Speaking on how he was going to solve the challenge of Boko Haram terrorism, he said: “I happen to know how Boko Haram came into being. They were offshoots of political thuggery.
