The article discusses a statement made by Saina Buba, the Borno State Commissioner for Poverty Alleviation, Youth Empowerment, and Sports. He denied claims that he threatened political opponents in a video that went viral. In the video, he made comments that many interpreted as aggressive, saying things like “whoever shows us a finger, we will break his finger.” Buba clarified that his remarks were not aimed at the opposition but were directed at unhappy members within his own party, the All Progressives Congress (APC). He explained that the comments were made during a party meeting intended to encourage loyalty among members after some had expressed dissatisfaction following party primaries. He used figurative language to say that loyal party members would be rewarded, while those who opposed the party would not receive support. He emphasized that there is no real political opposition in Borno State and expressed confidence that the APC would win all upcoming elections due to the government's successful projects in the region.
