Boko Haram: Political solution needed to end insurgency — Gov Zulum

By MUIDEEN OLANIYI

Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno State says a complete end to the Boko Haram’s “madness” will require a political solution.

Governor Zulum said this on Friday while fielding questions from State House reporters after a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The governor, who briefed President Buhari on the current security situation in his state, said “kinetic measures” alone could not solve the entire problem.

He stressed the need for government at all levels to provide job opportunities for the youth and an enabling environment for the poor to get access to their farmland.

Zulum expressed the commitment of his government to ensuring that people returned to their community, especially their ancestral home, and get access to farmland to start normal lifestyle. (Daily Trust)
