Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum has reiterated that the state remains an undisputed bastion of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and remains completely loyal to the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The Governor said this while flagging off the APC North East e-Registration workshop held in Maiduguri on Monday.
The event, which brought together members of the party's national leadership, state officials, local government chairmen and legislators at both the national and state levels, was organized to run the membership e-registration exercise of the APC as part of the party's ongoing digital reform process.
Addressing the gathering, Governor Zulum said, “I want to assure you that the Borno State Government, under my leadership, will provide the necessary support to ensure the success of the APC membership e-registration exercise in the North-East.”
“Our party members in states ruled by other political parties will also be given support to capture,” he said.
Zulum further said, “Leave no doubt in anyone's mind, Borno State is 100 per cent for APC. Our allegiance to the party and its leadership is absolute.”
He added, “Let us be clear and remember our recent history. 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 is changing, and this change is the result of the tireless efforts and massive support of the APC-led Federal Government.
“Under the administration of the late President Muhammadu Buhari, we received unprecedented support in our fight against terrorism. We also saw the establishment of the North East Development Commission (NEDC), which has played a vital role in rebuilding our communities and infrastructure.
“Now, under our leader, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, this support has not diminished but strengthened. The President has demonstrated deep commitment to the ultimate restoration of peace in Borno and the entire North-East. The Federal Government is actively collaborating with our administration to ensure the safe resettlement of our people and the rebuilding of their livelihoods.

He said, “The evidence is clear to all. The APC-led government at the federal level has been a true partner in our journey from turmoil to stability. For the first time, our son became the Vice President of Nigeria under the APC.”
Governor Zulum concluded by urging the people of Borno State to support President Tinubu’s re-election bid in the 2027 general elections.
He declared, “I want to reiterate my call to the good people of Borno State to join me in supporting the re-election of President Tinubu in 2027. Let us start building on that momentum now. Let us work together to ensure that his visionary leadership continues to guide our country forward.”
