The Governor of Borno State, Kashim Shettima, on Monday reportedly broke down in tears when a delegation from the state met with President Muhammadu Buhari in Abuja.
The governor was moved to tears because of what he described as the recent setback in the fight against insurgency, Channels Tv reports.
Shettima, however, noted that the leaders had not lost hope in the President’s ability to win the war and restore peace in the state.
On why the Northern leaders visited the president, Shettima amid tears told Buhari that the delegation came to present a set of observations and specific requests from a security meeting held a week ago in the state, which will require urgent presidential intervention.
Others present included the National security Adviser, Chief of Staff, the DG of DSS and NIA, Chief of Defense Staff and members of the National Assembly.
The meeting is still ongoing at State House in Abuja.
