The boos poked at President Muhammadu Buhari when he paid a condolence visit to Maiduguri, after an onslaught by Boko Haram, has been said not be a true reflection of the trust the people of the state have in the president.

Kashim Shettima, a former governor of the state, now a serving senator of Borno central, said this at a media briefing in Abuja on Thursday.

President Buhari had in the 2019 elections scooped 90 per cent of the votes from Borno State, having pledged to defeat insurgency in the country.

But while the popularity Mr Buhari enjoyed a year ago seemed to have dwindled when residents thronged out saying the president should go, Mr Shettima maintained that people of Borno are on the side of the president.

“Yes, we have challenges. Certainly, we have reached the nadir in our crisis, and we are going to bounce back as a people.The people of Borno love Buhari. Maybe their expectations were over-exaggerated,” Mr Shettima said.

“People thought he (Buhari) had a magic wand. He doesn’t have one. But I believe it is a temporary hiccup. The people of Borno, the people of the northeast still passionately love Buhari.”

Mr Shettima said by appointing two Borno sons Tukur Buratai as Chief of Army Staff and Babagana Monguno as National Security Adviser Mr Buhari has “done extremely well for the people of Borno,” and the northeast as a whole.

“The people and the government of Borno are fully behind the President, are fully in support of our security establishment who have lost lives while serving the nation.”

Asked if the presidential blame on the leaders of Borno went down well with him, the lawmaker recoiled, saying the president couldn’t have made such statement.

“I doubt very much if the president blamed the people of Borno or the Borno elites,” he responded. “He might have made a general statement on the need for people to align themselves with the aspiration for restoring peace in the northeast but I doubt if the President blamed the people of Borno.”

Mr Shettima, nonetheless, called for unity among Nigerians to battle the plethora of challenges facing the country.

Clown! Oh yes they love their killer

We know.

Gideon Okar a tiv man that spare headed the 1991 coup again ibb, excised these northern fulani states from Nigeria. He removed them.

This was as far back as 1991. Igbo politicians and youruba politicians of today re struggling and competing among themselves to lick the ass of these northerners. It's really disgusting




Just see how nontherners went to strike deal with greedy igbo politicians and because of that deal amotekun died.


Community police is still the same old shįt with a fancy name

Valentine speech...

Always denying reality.Where was this man when the failure of a president lied that he will defeat BH in 2months only to start paying them staggering ransom & now recycling them?

This Shettima of a man must be very stupid. These idiots thinks they can always subvert the will of the people. Same way Garba Shehu, Femi Adesina said they were protesters paid by disgruntled politicians.

Just like we have tears of joy, there's what is called boos of love.

That's why boko boys are killing them like chicken

Still on his side for what exactly

Buhari should just resign ...but I know he is not aware of things going on

When he leaves office ...I fear he would feel so bad suicide would cross his mind

Precisely! They will continue to suffer because they don't want to call a spade a spade and say it as it is! Everything is politics to these fools! Maybe they're afraid if they don't appear to 'love' Buhari that power will go to the south!

Booing bubu ko buru: Shettima

Humn! The real terrorists are highly entrenched in high places within this satanic government.

Sense no go kill you for this life

I totally agree with the governor. It is those people who are unable to understand the north that will cry more than the ones who suffer the most from the insecurities.

THAT'S WHY THEY'RE SPOILING FOR ANARCHY PARTICULARLY BURAITAI.
