Borno State Governor Babagana Umara Zulum has dismissed the Action Democratic Congress (ADC)’s presidential campaign council’s press release as “impulsive” and “a case of self‑indictment.” The ADC had criticized Zulum over a viral video, alleging he ordered the arrest of anyone expressing “Tinubu Must Go” during a recent media engagement.
His spokesperson, Malam Dauda Iliya, countered the accusations as “unprofessional” and insisted the ADC had misrepresented the governor’s remarks. Zulum’s media chat focused on addressing social vices and maintaining peace and order, emphasizing that his administration would not tolerate violence or criminal activity. The governor never referenced the #TinubuMustGo group or any opposition party in his statement.
The ADC’s response was deemed unprofessional, and the governor’s administration vowed to maintain the peace and stability achieved under his leadership, warning that any attempt to disrupt this progress would not be tolerated.
