Zulum to Social-Media Promoters: Please, stop comparing my work with other Governors

Governor Zulum appealed to anyone who genuinely supports him not to insult any leader on the basis of whatever is being achieved in Borno State.

“While I am enormously grateful for all the support and promotions, I have in recent days, received messages forwarded to me, in which our work-in-progress in Borno State is being compared with some States, and in some cases, with insults. The fact is that, I feel extremely uncomfortable any time I am being negatively compared with any Governor, especially if anyone of those making the comparisons fall in any of the social media groups associated with us. I consider such comparisons unhealthy.

Moreover, we are not in competition. The truth is that all of the 36 States have their peculiarities and priorities, depending on developmental plans and the needs of societies. In Borno’s case, we have to be desperate in our recovery efforts because we have been faced with 12 years of war, resulting to thousands of deaths and displacement of about two million people with humanitarian needs. From the World Bank’s Recovery and Peace-Building Assessment report on the northeast, Borno lost 956,453 private houses, representing 30 % of the total number of houses in across the state, to insurgent destructions.

Also, 665 municipal buildings comprising ministries, LGA buildings, prisons, police stations and electric offices were destroyed in Borno. 5,335 classrooms and other school buildings were destroyed in 512 primary schools, 38 secondary schools and two tertiary institutions in the State. 201 health centres, mostly primary healthcare clinics, dispensaries and some General Hospitals were all destroyed.

The insurgents also destroyed 726 power substations and distribution lines just like they destroyed 1,630 water sources including motorized boreholes, hand pumps, solar powered boreholes and facilities for piped water schemes, and more. So, our developmental aggression in Borno is not driven by competition, but our realities of unquantifiable challenges. All States have different needs hence leaders respond differently and with different strategies. We in Borno needed to act fast given our peculiarity of needs but this should not be a basis for negative comparison”.

Ok.
Better be in competition o coz it births innovation. You can't be lagging behind all in the guise of moving at your own pace

We are not comparing, sir.
We are just letting the stupeed incompetent governors see what a state in the heat of an ongoing insurgency is doing.

States down South with higher IGR and relatively peaceful milieu cannot even pay salaries, talk less of clearing an 'international' market of disgusting filth.

We will not stop talking, sir.

This man is actually trying to end insurgence in his state, but forces greater than him are frustrating his efforts. You will prevail my prof. And your dream of making the state conducive for the masses will be a reality. Insha Allah

Like seriously if Governor Zulum is from Abia state Nobody will complain.

Way up.

I know you personally don't want to be over glorified by sycophants.
But comparison has been the means of checking individual performances.
It happens in the beauty /entertainment industry, school, governance, etc.
Comparison will make non performing governor to sit-up and encourage the performing ones to do more.
There is an Igbo saying that goes "etoo dike na nke omere, omekwa ozo " meaning if you praise the warrior for his victory, he will be prompted to do more.
We all know that Abia, Kogi, Ebonyi, Rivers, AkwaIbom, Kano, Kaduna government officials, including their various relatives are on social media like Facebook, Nairaland, Twitter etc.
And our contributions here shapes governance.
Police and military are all here on nairaland.
Guess what! these folks evaluate their actions/inactions from nairaland members comments.

No comment, here to occupy space because I matter

Which work exactly?
Billions go down the drain every week in Bornu state on the account of insecurity. Isn't security part of Zulum's responsibility?
Anyone can build overtly painted primary schools.

Wisdom is profitable

Let vulture griller stay clear off this man.
He is already using his name for propaganda just like he used Miracle Nwobodo for IPOB propaganda.

Lol... Imagine the state with the worse security in Nigeria thinking they have achieved anything. You can't build a thing while you still have terrorists as your tenants. You can build a bridge today and they will blow it up tomorrow.
Notwithstanding, we must commend the governor's determination to keep pushing even in the face of war and death. It's very very commendable.

Borno state should just be left for Boko Haram. The destruction is enormous.

South East Governors: wheeeew we can finally rest and continue looting

Zulum is just simple and down to earth, I salute u sir

Zulum better pass most useless Nigerian governors. Some of them are just their to loot with nothing to offer.

ok sir. That's the best way to act



Anyway, Agriculture is life.

Tell your governor to just clear Ariaria Market. Just that one, no need to build bridges.

I see Zulum winning a ministerial appointment in 2023.

This I have seen.
