Borno State Governor, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum, has reaffirmed that the state remains a stronghold of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and fully loyal to the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Governor Zulum made the declaration on Monday during the flag-off of the APC Northeast E-Registration Workshop held in Maiduguri.

The event brought together members of the party’s national leadership, state executives, local government chairmen, and legislators at both national and state levels. It was organized as part of the APC’s digital reform agenda to enhance membership registration and strengthen internal party structures.

Governor Zulum assured that his administration would provide the necessary support to ensure the success of the exercise across the Northeast region.

“I want to assure you that the Government of Borno State under my leadership will provide the desired support to ensure the success of the APC membership e-registration exercise in the North East,” Zulum stated.

“Let there be no doubt in anyone’s mind, Borno State is 100% for the APC. Our loyalty to the party and its leadership is absolute.”

The governor recalled the transformation Borno has witnessed under successive APC-led administrations, noting that before the party came to power, the state was engulfed in insecurity and economic hardship.

“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 has changed, thanks to the relentless support from the APC-led federal government,” he added.

Governor Zulum highlighted the establishment of the North East Development Commission (NEDC) and the continued federal support in rebuilding communities affected by insurgency as tangible evidence of the APC’s commitment to the region’s progress.

He further commended President Tinubu’s leadership for sustaining and strengthening federal interventions aimed at restoring peace and improving livelihoods across the North East.

“The APC government at the federal level has been a true partner in our journey from crisis to stability. For the first time, our son became the Vice President of Nigeria under the APC,” he noted.

Governor Zulum urged the people of Borno to continue rallying behind the party and begin mobilization efforts ahead of 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 the 2027 general elections. Let us begin to build that momentum now and work together to ensure his visionary leadership continues to guide our nation forward,” Zulum said.
