In Borno, a gathering of ‘warriors’
It is obvious that some hide-and-seek individuals who paraded themselves as PDP stakeholders in the state have not relented in their usual schemes and game plans of the past which have denied PDP its desired and deserved success in previous elections in the state.

It is obvious that some hide-and-seek individuals who paraded themselves as PDP stakeholders in the state have not relented in their usual schemes and game plans of the past which have denied PDP its desired and deserved success in previous elections in the state.
Those vindictive elements that conspired against the PDP woman leader see her as the only obstacle standing in their way to achieving their evil machination. Little did they know that the innocent Ina Ciroma know nothing regarding the list of executives currently in the national headquarters as she is one of those who inherited it but they continue to make their case under the guise of party liberation. It is incontrovertible that whoever batters people’s image to project his own destroys none but himself.
As we all know, it is this attitude of hatred, domination and monopoly of power by these ethnic groups that compelled the people of southern Borno to agitate for the creation of their own state (Savannah State) which they vehemently opposed, so that they can continuously enjoy the pleasure of winner takes all. The antecedences of the past have proven lots of tribal ethnocentrism against the people of Southern Borno and in particular the person and personality of the National Women Leader, Hajiya Maryam Ciroma, simply because of her political stature. Otherwise, how can one imagine that more than 97% of Federal Government appointments given to the state since independence have been dominantly scrabbled in their favour, as if the southern Borno are not a people despite that the state has only three senatorial districts of which we constitute one of the three. As for Ambassador Saidu Pindar who conspicuously aligned himself with others as a chief culprit and arch enemy to inflict onslaught against his people; those acquainted with history are never surprised of his parochial treacheries against us as he is well known for such mischievousness. He would even wish that our people from the south are slaves like him, so he could sell everyone out to his masters for a paltry price.
Unfortunately, history has vindicated him and never will any reasonable person from the south wish to be identified with him except his accomplices who are birds of the same feather. He is now submerged in the pool of sycophancy, hatred and maliciousness against his people. It is true that Pindar and his cohorts see nothing good in anybody other than themselves. Henceforth, be reminded that ‘whoever dines with the devils in order to hurt his enemy should await the repercussion of the evil, because the devils wish no good for anyone other than themselves’
