Yuletide: Non-indigenes commend Gov. Zulum for free transportation

Residents who are non-Borno natives have praised Governor Babagana Zulum for providing free transportation so they may travel to their different places to enjoy the Christmas and New Year celebrations.

According to Prime 9ja Online, the gesture has helped around 645 people from 10 non-indigenous tribes.

Additionally, Governor Zulum gave unspecified sums of money to widows during the Christmas holiday.

The governor's goodwill, according to Ohanaeze All Progressives Congress (APC) Support Group Zonal Coordinator Emmanuel Egwudike, came at a time when many people had given up hope of returning home for the celebrations.

He pointed out that Zulum's generosity was nothing new; he frequently helped non-indigenous people and donated palliatives to widows to let them celebrate Christmas and the New Year.

“Come 2023 we will support the APC from top to bottom.  We urge other governors to emulate Zulum.

“Ten communities of non-indigenes in Borno benefitted from this transport scheme in which 645 persons were given feeding allowances to make their journeys stress-free.

In his remarks, the President of the Borno Chapter of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Sunday Okonkwo, commended the governor for providing free transport for the less privileged who wouldn’t have travelled without the support.

He assured that non-indigenes in the state would work to ensure the re-election of the governor so he could continue his good work.

Also speaking about Zulum’s gesture, John Azimeye, President of the Niger Delta Peoples Forum in Borno, described the governor as a detribalised man who had been doing his best for all residents.

“He extends good gestures to non-indigenes in the state to ensure that they celebrate Christmas with their loved ones, in spite of the meagre resources at his disposal.

“It is a wonderful gesture; we are indeed going to give him every support to continue the good work he is doing,’’ Azimeye said.

President of the Tiv community in the state, Abraham Kaanti, said the governor had exhibited his love for the downtrodden and the less privileged by this gesture.

“So we the `internal diasporas’ have resolved that we are going to throw our full support into Gov. Zulum’s second term bid,’’ he said.

On his part, Asiwaju Alabi, the Secretary-General of the Yoruba APC support group appreciated Gov. Zulum for the wonderful gesture, noting the governor had been providing the gestures since 2020.

Alabi said it was evident that Zulum’s projects were not paper projects and his promises not empty promises.
