…..Urges military to reopen Biu- Damboa- Maiduguri, other roads
By Inusa Ndahi, Maiduguri
Senator Mohammed Ali Ndume (APC) Borno South has distributed 25 bulls to all Army formations in his constituency to enable them celebrate the 2024 Christmas and the New Year 2025.
The Senator in his usual gesture has also distributed food and non-food items to Christian Communities across the constituency, even as he visited the office of the Theatre Commander, North East ‘Operation Hadin KAI’, Major General Waihid Shauibu on Tuesday where he appealed for reopening of the Maiduguri-Damboa-Biu road and other roads to enable easy movement of good and services.
Flagging off the distribution of the Christmas largesse to leaders and representative of various groups, clubs and associations irrespective of political consideration, Ndume said, “This is a routine gesture to enable my people celebrate the Christmas without hitches.
“The military have been doing wonderfully well in the fight against insurgency, especially in Southern Borno which is now very peaceful compared to the past.
“We will continue to give the military the desired support and cooperation to fulfil their mandate or rules of engagement for peace to reign forever not only in our constituency, or Borno, but the country as a whole. I visited the Theatre Commander today who is a very good and dedicated Army General in the fight against Boko Haram.
“I also used the opportunity and appealed to his noble office to intensify efforts in degrading remnants of Boko Haram Terrorists still hibernating around the Mandara Mountains and other hideouts.
“I want to also pray that God will grant us successful Christmas celebrations and the new year in advance”. Ndume stated.
He also enjoined all and sundry, especially people from the constituency to continue pray for peace and give their maximum support to the present administration of Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno State and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in their quest to better the lives of the citizenry. End
