So, as the governor of the state, I think it\u2019s not right for me to speak on something that I don\u2019t have full knowledge of.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Further, he said: \u201cThis report is not authenticated. You have just seen somebody writing something in social media, I think it\u2019s on Facebook or something like that. You\u2019re a journalist and I think we have to prove reports beyond reasonable doubts, before commenting on such reports.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs far as I\u2019m concerned, I\u2019m the governor of Borno State and I don\u2019t have any information that we have another government in Borno State. And I\u2019m very much in charge.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On his mission to nation\u2019s seat of power, he said that he was at the presidential villa to seek the president\u2019s assistance to repatriate the over 200,000 Borno indigenes who fled insurgency to Chad, Cameroon and Niger Republic.<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cNow that we have started witnessing gradual return of peace to Borno State, these people that are taking refuge in our neighbouring countries are willing to return home.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTherefore, Borno State government picked a date of November 27, 2021, for the commencement of the repatriation process, especially to local government areas of Abadam and Guzamala.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, I came to brief Mr. President, to solicit his support, with the view to ensuring hitch-free repatriation exercise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The governor declined to place a figure on what it might take to implement the repatriation, saying: \u201cI can\u2019t quantify, but I think the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs with its agencies; NEMA, the Refugee Commission and indeed the Northeast Development Commission, lastly the Borno State government, have the capacity to shoulder the responsibility of the repatriation exercise.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"adL\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno State, yesterday, said that the alleged appointment of a governor over some territories in the state by Boko Haram and Islamic State of West African&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":82758,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-83578","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>ISWAP not appointing gov in Borno, I&#039;m\u00a0still in charge - Zulum\u00a0 - Pointblank News<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/exclusive\/iswap-not-appointing-gov-in-borno-im-still-in-charge-zulum\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"ISWAP not appointing gov in Borno, I&#039;m\u00a0still in charge - Zulum\u00a0 - Pointblank News\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno State, yesterday, said that the alleged appointment of a governor over some territories in the state by Boko Haram and Islamic State of West African&hellip;\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/exclusive\/iswap-not-appointing-gov-in-borno-im-still-in-charge-zulum\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Pointblank News\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-07-13T10:11:33+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Zulum-suspends-French-NGO-for-conducting-shooting-training-in-Borno.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1068\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Our Reporter\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Our Reporter\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/exclusive\/iswap-not-appointing-gov-in-borno-im-still-in-charge-zulum\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/exclusive\/iswap-not-appointing-gov-in-borno-im-still-in-charge-zulum\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Our Reporter\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/#\/schema\/person\/ba61acbe7e8967bcf3f3ba603d9db23c\"},\"headline\":\"ISWAP not appointing gov in Borno, I&#8217;m\u00a0still in charge &#8211;
