Borno Commissioner apologizes for threatening opposition members

Previously, Buba was quoted in a video stating that those who follow the government would "enjoy the honey," while those who refused would be "flogged." Addressing journalists in Maiduguri, the commissioner clarified that his remarks, made during an empowerment program, were not intended to harm or violate the fundamental rights of individuals to freedom of choice and association. He emphasized that his comments do not represent the ideals of the All Progressives Congress APC or the administration of Governor Professor Babagana Umara Zulum, which he stated upholds and respects all segments of society, particularly the youth.

Buba apologized to the people of Borno State for any offense caused and affirmed the administration's commitment to democratic principles.
