Borno State Governor Babagana Umara Zulum has expressed strong optimism that the Boko Haram insurgency will soon be defeated.
The governor made the declaration in an Easter message issued on Sunday, April 5, 2026, through his media aide, Dauda Iliya, while felicitating with Christians in Borno and across Nigeria.
Zulum described Easter as a sacred season that symbolises sacrifice, forgiveness, and love.
He urged residents to sustain the existing religious harmony between Christians and Muslims in the state.
“It is heartening to observe the level of religious harmony between Christians and Muslims in the state. I urge all residents to sustain this spirit as we continue to take deliberate steps towards achieving lasting peace,” he said.
The governor reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to improving security and the welfare of the people.
He noted that his government has scaled up palliative distribution to over 300,000 families to ease the impact of current economic hardship.
Zulum also called for unity and restraint, especially during the present political climate.“I want to remind us that Borno belongs to all of us.
We must shun divisive tendencies, especially during this political period. We have embarked on a collective journey of recovery, and we must not allow enemies of peace to derail our progress,” he added.
He commended traditional rulers, religious leaders, the Nigerian Armed Forces, other security agencies, the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF), hunters, and vigilantes for their sacrifices and recent successes in the fight against insurgency.
