Group warns lawmaker against working for presidency

The Secretary of the group Abba Kime Lawan, in a press statement yesterday, alleged that Gujbawu has made it his “new legislative duty” to regularly speak against the overall interest of Borno people.
“We have noticed for some time now, that Hon Kyari Gujbawu forcefully and needlessly go to the media in support of the Presidency against Borno any time there are issues. In the process, he displays ignorance of the matters at stake.
“Barely three weeks ago, Gujbawu went to the press calling our exemplary governor of Borno State, Kashim Shettima, names because the governor complained that the amount of N200m granted Borno by the federal government as palliative was grossly inadequate,” it said.
The group said Governor Shettima had said that suspending elections in any part of the country on account of Boko Haram activities would amount to making the insurgents supreme over the government but alleged that the lawmaker supported suspension of elections which they said he is afraid of losing.
