Borno Governor, Babagana Zulum as Chairman of the North-East Governors’ Forum, alongside Governor Inuwa Yahaya of Gombe State, have been in Sokoto on condolence and solidarity visit to Governor Aminu Tambuwal, over recent attack on Goronyo Market by bandits, which left about 40 people dead.
Zulum led the visit on behalf of the North-East Governors Forum and donated N20 million as solidarity humanitarian support.
Zulum told Tambuwal that the North-East Governors shared the grief of the families affected by the attack, hence the delegation was visiting to register condolence and express solidarity.
Zulum prayed for the return of peace in Sokoto State, and all parts of Nigeria, noting that his doors are always open to exchange experiences, given the challenges faced by Borno State, and steps being adopted on the way forward.
Governor Tambuwal expressed profound gratitude to the North-East Governors’ Forum. He noted that the visit was a soothing balm to the victims and affected families, and the entire people of Sokoto State.
Tambuwal further described the coming of Governors Zulum and Yahaya, as a clear manifestation of love and brotherhood, between the North-East and the North-West in general, and between Borno, Gombe and the Sokoto States.
Governor Tambuwal acknowledged the many efforts of Zulum in Borno State since becoming Governor, over two years ago.
