Borno Governor Zulum Reveals Arrest Over Political Ambition

Babagana Zulum, the governor of Borno State, disclosed that he was arrested by police after declaring his intention to contest for the chairmanship of Mafa Local Government Area (LGA). This revelation occurred during the inauguration of the Borno State All Progressives Congress (APC) Campaign Council at the Government House in Maiduguri.

Zulum recounted an incident where he was drawing water in Mafa when he announced his political ambition, which led to his detention due to accusations of instigating public unrest against local officials. He emphasized that political struggles can involve such challenges.

Zulum also addressed criticisms regarding the arrest of "Tinubu Must Go" protesters, asserting his innocence. He reflected on the burdens of leadership, sharing his late working hours and urging party aspirants to unite for the success of the APC in the upcoming 2027 general elections.

He concluded by stating that power is granted by God and should be accepted with faith.
