The Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, has reaffirmed the state’s unwavering loyalty to the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its national leadership under President Bola Tinubu, describing the state as the “undisputed stronghold” of the ruling party.
Gov. Zulum made the declaration during the flag-off ceremony of the APC North-East e-registration workshop held in Maiduguri.
The event brought together key party stakeholders, including members of the national leadership, state executives, local government chairmen, state legislators, and members of the National Assembly.
The workshop, the governor said, marks a major step in the party’s ongoing digital reform, aimed at modernizing membership registration and improving data management across the region.
“I want to assure you that the government of Borno State, under my leadership, will provide the desired support to ensure the success of the APC membership e-registration exercise in the North-East,” Gov. Zulum stated.
“Our party members in other states governed by other political parties will be supported to get captured.”
Reaffirming the state’s allegiance to the APC, Gov. Zulum added that “let there be no doubt in anyone’s mind, Borno State is 100% for the APC. Our loyalty to the party and its leadership is absolute.”

“Before the APC came to power, Borno State was on its knees. Our local governments were under siege, our economy was shattered, and our people were living in fear,” he said.
“But, look at where we are today. The narrative is shifting, thanks to the relentless efforts and massive support from the APC-led federal government.”
The governor praised the contributions of the administration of late President Muhammadu Buhari, citing the creation of the North East Development Commission (NEDC) and its role in rebuilding communities destroyed by insurgency.
He further commended Tinubu for sustaining and strengthening the federal government’s commitment to restoring peace and development in the region.
“Under President Bola Tinubu, this support has not wavered; it has been strengthened,” Gov. Zulum noted.
“The federal government is actively collaborating with our administration to ensure the safe resettlement of our people and the rebuilding of their livelihoods.”
Highlighting the political gains made under the APC, Gov. Zulum also referenced the emergence of Vice President Kashim Shettima, Borno State’s former governor, as a historic milestone for the state.
The governor concluded by rallying party members and residents to begin mobilizing early for Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027.
“I wish to reiterate my call to the good people of Borno State to join me in supporting the re-election of President Tinubu in the 2027 general elections. Let us begin to build that momentum now,” he urged.
“Let us work together to ensure his visionary leadership continues to guide our nation forward.”
