Rt Hon Abdulkarim Lawan, the Speaker of Borno State House of Assembly, has faulted claims made by Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed and the immediate past Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) Gen Gabriel Olonisakin that all the 27 Local Government areas in Borno State have been liberated and fully under the control of Nigeria Military Troops.
Hon. Lawan said that the entire Guzamala Local Government area where he resides is still seriously under the control of Boko Haram.
“There is no existence of civil life in Guzamala, not to even talk of Military presence in the Council Headquarters and its surrounding communities, that are not dominated by armed Boko Haram Fighters,” he said.
He said, although, he has been agitating for Nigeria military presence in Guzamala to enable his displaced people take the advantage of Governor Babagana Zulum’s move in Reconstruction and Resettlement, but to no avail, as Guzamala is still a ‘no go area’.
He said as Speaker of the Borno State House of Representative who has been re-elected for four consecutive times representing Guzamala, he has spent over three years without going to his own Local Government Area, Guzamala, and still wondered why the Federal Government officials who were busy staying at their comfort zones in Abuja would “fabricate lies” to Nigerians that all local government areas in Borno State are safe.
“We have a total of 774 Local Government areas in Nigeria, we in Guzamala Council want the Federal Government to tell us whether Guzalama has been cancelled out of the 774 so that we can know our position and look for a better option” Lawan stated.
