Governor of Borno state, Babagana Zulum has revealed that the suspension of erring government officials does not make him happy as they create political enemies for him.<\/p>\n

However, Zulum insisted that discipline must be enforced in public service.<\/p>\n

This revelation was made by the governor while speaking at the House of Assembly in Maiduguri.<\/p>\n

The governor said he will never sack any official or ban political thuggery<\/a>, if he is obsessed with political popularity.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cIn the over two years of having the privilege to lead Borno State, I have had occasions to take some tough and unpopular decisions. I have had to fire or suspend some people from their jobs. Firing people is not a pleasant thing to do and it did not give me any joy. I was once the Rector at Ramat Polytechnic and I would love to do things there that make me popular. My suspension of the Polytechnic\u2019s management was not a pleasant decision and some people will bear personal grudges against me. I could be more popular if I allow officials to continue to do as they wish. I can also gain a lot of cheap popularity if I encourage ECOMOG (political thugs) to continue to operate, brandish my posters and keep say Sai Zulum\u2019 (rather than banning them).<\/p>\n

Zulum added: \u201cFor us politicians, whether career or accidental, popularity is sweet. But then, Mr. Speaker, on May 29, 2019, I took an oth to serve the people of Borno State with the fear of Allah. I am human and I make mistakes. But to consider the fear of Allah and the highest interest of Borno State and its people before I take any decision. In my two and a half years as Governor of Borno State, I live, wake up and go to sleep every day remembering that I can die at any time.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf and when that happens, I will surely account before the Almighty God for the decisions I make. I beseech all of us to remember at every turn that Borno State is not its usual self. Things are different. Our society has suffered and our people are suffering. We all have obligations to give our best of the best to move Borno State forward\u201d the Governor urged.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
