Boko Haram: We won’t allow any terrorist group distract us – Shettima

Borno State governor, Kashim Shettima on Monday said he would not allow recent attacks by Boko Haram insurgents in some parts of the state to disturb his planned rebuilding of destroyed structures.

Shettima said this while speaking with newsmen in Bama, headquarters of Bama Local Government Area of the state.

He said, “They are also vendors of fear. They want to instill fear in us.

“I think we should be stubborn enough to follow our convictions against the wanton destruction of lives and property not only in this state, but the entire affected sub-region of the country.

“We have the courage to realise our dreams of an enduring peace in the state and the North East.

“The Borno State Government and its entire citizens must put hands together to rebuild Borno brick by brick, as the rebuilding and rehabilitation processes of Bama has commenced last Wednesday.

“Any life that does not involve taking risk is not a life worth living. At the end of the day what story are you going to tell your grandchildren.”

Shettima had recently moved his office to Bama to oversee the reconstruction of the town which was destroyed by Boko Haram.
