A governor must know when to talk, and when to act, argues TAJUDEEN KAREEM
There has been lots of furore on a brief comment made by the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mallam Mohammed Idris regarding the security situation in the North East, and precisely in Borno State after the commotion created by Governor Baba Gana Zulum.
Let us be clear from the beginning that the minister had a duty to defend the Tinubu Administration. Let us also concede that the governor knows where the shoe pinches. So, Prof Zulum was right to raise the alarm when insurgents started to regroup and started menacing his territories.
