Borno state Governor Kashim Shettima on Thursday, July 23, delivered a powerful speech “Democracy and Security in Northeast, Nigeria – the case study of Borno” at the NUJ event in the course of which he was awarded as the Governor of the Year, 2014.
In the piece published by Daily Post, Shettima stressed the importance of Islamic scholars participation in the ideological fight against Boko Haram insurgency.
The governor lamented, however, that now leading scholar fear to speak up. He called for the support of such people by ensuring their and their families’ security.
The politician further recalled the stages of insurgency, blaming leader, including himself, for not taking the relevant measures when required. Media, he noted, also contributed to the situation worsening.
