Borno Governor Professor Babagana Umara Zulum on Wednesday swore-in Chief Kesta Ogualili from Anambra State, and Alhaji Yusuf Alao from Oyo State, plus 24 others as special advisers. Chief Ogualili, a Nigerian of Ibo extraction hails from Dunukofia Local Government Area, while Alao is Yoruba from Ogbomosho Local Government Area.

Zulum had on January 9 appointed both men who have lived in the state for many years and have been active loyalists of the APC. The appointments included additional 24 persons.

The Deputy Governor Umar Kadafur represented Governor Zulum at the swearing-in of the 26 advisers.

Sentiments aside, Zulum is the only sensible APC member. He’s an icon to emulate.

Come to the west, Lagos does it, in the north too Bornu has done it. The only region that has never done it before and I stand to be corrected is the east.

Something tells me this man has an Igbo blood in him. Even his name sounds Igbotic.

Stop letting hatred make you sound foolish.
The first elected mayor of Enugu city was a hausa man.
Today is not late,you can migrate to d east and start one meaningful business or venture,recognition will come your way,we don't do quota. Respect is earned.
Problem is,your people when found in d east do only small time vulcanizer, small time tailoring,electrician etc.
The vulcanizer will hardly ever graduate to the big time tyre dealer or tire service centre with modern machines.
The tailor will hardly graduate to the big time fashion house,the electrician will never graduate to the modern motor workshop with spare parts dealership.
So,on what basis will they get the recognition?


If you check the man appointed by Gov Zulum,he's probably a major stakeholder in whatever business or venture he does in that Borno state.

Your comment is hereby erased and cancelled for failing to scale through veritability test. To set the record straight, Enugu pionered this move(appointing people from other tribes into governmental office) in Nigeria.

This is commendable

I look to a future where abayomi can be a governor in anambra and uche a governor in Ondo while belema will be a governor in Kano , yes it sounds impossible now but trust me the future is something you can't stop. If I had told youbten years ago soneone like bobrisky would be a wealthy celeb in Nigeria all of you would have said never who will follow him , who will patronize him but alas in as much as I am homophobic and can't stand gays I can't deny them their rights or the fact that the future brings change in opinions and stances

Let's shun tribalism and religious hate

It's either one embraces the future and changed your views and accept a looking liberal future or you might as well just crawl back under a rock
