Africa Press-Nigeria:
Governors of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) under the aegis of Progressive Governors’ Forum (PGF) on Sunday condemned Saturday attack on the convoys of Governor Babagana Zulum and the Committee on Baga Reconstruction by Boko Haram insurgents.
The forum vowed to support the Borno Governor to see to the end of insurgence in the region.
It called on all well -meaning Nigerians to support efforts of the Governor at ending the activities of insurgents and return the displaced citizens back to normal life in the North-East region.
A statement by Chairman of the Forum and Kebbi Governor, Abubakar Bagudu on Sunday in Abuja, commiserated with the people and government of Borno State over the attack on governor’s two convoys along Maiduguri/Baga road of Borno State.
The Forum, according to Bagudu, believed the recent strategies and tactics currently adopted by Borno State Government and security agencies have turned the heat on the insurgents, hence the attack of last Saturday on the two convoys by the Boko Haram insurgents to distract the government from ensuring that life return to normal in the state.
The Governors appealed to the Federal Government to immediately provide more logistical support to security agencies deployed to Borno to ensure speedy return to normal life in State and the entire North-East region.
The statement reads: “We join our brother, Governor Zulum, our leaders in Borno State and all Nigerians to pray for the repose of the souls of all those who lost their lives.
