Former Senate leader, Ali Ndume, has appealed to the Federal Government to take necessary humanitarian measures to assist the Borno State government to resettle, reconstruct, and rehabilitate the displaced victims of over 10 years of insurgency.
The senator representing Borno South made the appeal at a
Christmas event in collaboration with the Coalition of Christian Youths
(Youth-CAN) for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) taking refuge at the CAN
Centre in the northeastern state.
Senator Ndume used the occasion to commend the Borno State
Governor, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum, whom he described as a leader who has
demonstrated exceptional commitment to humanitarian recovery across the state,
particularly in the Gwoza Local Government Area.
He said, “Out of the 27 local governments in Borno State,
Professor Babagana Umara Zulum has shown uncommon love, courage, and dedication
to Gwoza and other conflict-affected communities.”
Responding to the passionate appeal by the IDPs for support
to return to their ancestral homes, the lawmaker assured them that he would
convey their request to Governor Zulum.
“It pleases me to hear that you personally requested my
support to take you back home. We will ensure your return.
“We are fortunate to have a governor who truly cares about
his people, and I will engage him directly on this matter.”
In his remarks, the Chairman of Borno State Christian
Youths, Barrister Ephraim Yidawi, commended the lawmaker for aligning with the
youths and called for the active involvement of Christian youth organizations
in the repatriation and reintegration of refugees from Cameroon.
