Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum has laid to rest lingering speculations that he is nursing ambition for higher political position in 2023.
There have been rumours that the governor is eyeing the number two position in the country.
However, speaking at the 19th Daily Trust Dialogue in Abuja on Thursday, Zulum said becoming the governor of Borno was not something he planned.
In the report by Daily Trust, the governor said, “I’m not interested in any position.”
“We are now coming closer to the 2023 general elections but for me, it’s not important, I’m not interested in any position. I never planned to be the governor of Borno State and I’m not willing to aspire for any higher position but as a Muslim, you should always pray for the best,” he said.
He advised people to look into the possibility of selecting good leaders rather than the elections itself.
“We have to look into the possibility of selecting good leaders, whether we like it or not. How? That remains the very big question; whether in PDP, whether in APC, I think we need to see how we can get good leaders.”
