Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno State has reiterated that the state remains an undisputed stronghold of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and is fully loyal to the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The governor made this assertion on Monday during the flag-off of the APC Northeast e-registration workshop held in Maiduguri.
The event, which brought together members of the national leadership of the party, state executives, local government chairmen, and legislators at both national and state levels, was convened to drive the APC’s membership e-registration exercise as part of the party’s ongoing digital reform process.
Addressing the gathering, Governor Zulum said, “I want to assure you that the Government of Borno State, under my leadership, will provide the necessary support to ensure the success of the APC membership e-registration exercise in the North-East.”
“Our party members in states governed by other political parties will also be supported to get captured,” he added.
Zulum further stated, “Let there be no doubt in anyone’s mind, Borno State is 100 percent for the APC. Our loyalty to the party and its leadership is absolute.”
He continued, “Let us be frank and remember our recent history. Before the APC came to power, Borno State was on its knees. Our local governments were under siege, our economy was shattered, and our people were living in fear.
“But look at where we are today. The narrative is changing, and this transformation is the result of the relentless efforts and massive support from the APC-led federal government.
“Under the administration of the late President Muhammadu Buhari, we received unprecedented support in our fight against terrorism. We also witnessed the establishment of the North East Development Commission (NEDC), which has played a crucial role in rebuilding our communities and infrastructure.
“Now, under our leader, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, this support has not diminished, it has been strengthened. The President has demonstrated a deep commitment to the final restoration of peace in Borno and the entire North-East. The federal government is actively collaborating with our administration to ensure the safe resettlement of our people and the rebuilding of their livelihoods.

“The evidence is clear for all to see. The APC-led government at the federal level has been a true partner in our journey from turmoil to stability. For the first time, our son became the Vice President of Nigeria under the APC,” he said.
Governor Zulum concluded by urging the people of Borno State to support President Tinubu’s re-election bid in the 2027 general elections.
“I wish to reiterate my call to the good people of Borno State to join me in supporting the re-election of President Tinubu in 2027. Let us begin to build that momentum now. Let us work together to ensure his visionary leadership continues to guide our nation forward,” he declared.
