Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum says the government needs more support in order to win the war against the Boko Haram insurgents.
He said this while speaking with journalists after a closed-door meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
He described as “pathetic” the recent attacks on Damasak, Geidam and Mainok, which led to many casualties.
He said: “I think it is my own responsibility to come and say the truth to Mr President. Let him know what is going on in the entire Northeast sub-region.
“I think there is a need for us to get support for us to succeed in this war against insurgents. It’s very pathetic. A few days ago, Damasak was attacked, hundreds of people started fleeing Damasak and now Geidam is almost deserted, many people have left Geidam.
“I think the military is yet to receive some of the equipment that they have ordered for.”
