Katsina Network for Peace and Leadership on Sunday urged Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum to ignore recent media attacks by some people “sympathetic” to the military.
The national coordinator of the group, Dr Ibrahim Yusuf Bakori, in a statement, said the governor’s “faceless enemies” were against him for demanding probe of Boko Haram attacks on his convoy few weeks ago.
Bakori stated: “We strongly salute the governor of Borno State, Professor Umara Babagana Zulum for his very unique leadership that every sane Nigerian is appreciating.
“We have monitored, in the last two weeks, increased media attacks, most of them, by groups we have found to be faceless. Only one group held a press conference in Abuja and we know that group very well. With good ‘motivation’, the same group will be ready to hold a counter press conference in favour of Governor Zulum.
“Responding to any of these groups will make them important. Zulum is too great a leader to be seen responding to idiots. We urge the governor to remain focused on his people because he was elected by them and not appointed.
“We also place Nigerians on notice to expect sustained media attacks on Governor Zulum because his selfless and patriotic stand does not tally with the greed of some people.
“We urge good Nigerians to continue to pray for that exemplary governor and God will surely protect, guide and strengthen him, bi iznillah”.
