Africa Press-Nigeria:<\/p>\n
Borno Governor, Babagana Zulum, has assured that he was in good shape despite the Baga attack on his convoy.<\/p>\n
A barrage of gunshots rented the air as the governor visited Baga town in Kukawa Local Government on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Zulum said he remains unshaken and will continue to perform his duties without fear.<\/p>\n
He spoke to DAILY POST on Saturday through his spokesman, Isa Gusau.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe governor remains unfazed, unshaken. The well-being of Borno people are his top priority and he will continue to work in their best favour\u201d, Gusau said.<\/p>\n
Zulum thanked all Nigerians for their solidarity and prayers.<\/p>\n
He appealed to citizens to be security conscious and to continue to adhere to all COVID-19 safety protocols.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Shehu of Borno, Abubakar Ibn Umar Elkanemi, has declared that leaders and citizens of the state are not safe.<\/p>\n
The monarch spoke at the weekend when he paid Sallah homage to Zulum at the Government House, Maiduguri.<\/p>\n
Shehu said: \u201cYour Excellency, we are not happy about what happened in Baga. It is very unfortunate and a great pity. If the convoy of the Chief Security Officer of the state could be attacked, then wallahi nobody is safe.\u201d<\/p>\n
On the COVID-19 pandemic, he advised Borno citizens to continue to adhere strictly to all protocols announced by health experts.<\/p>\n
Shehu, however, lamented on the high rate of incessant tree-cutting in the state.<\/p>\n
He warned of environmental problems and urged the authorities to stop the trend.<\/p>\n
Zulum expressed gratitude for the visit and assured of government\u2019s readiness to address issues raised.<\/p>\n
