Borno State Governor, Babagana Umara Zulum, yesterday, led a delegation of Borno people to attend the funeral prayer for his spokesperson, Malam Isa Umar Gusau, held at the National Mosque in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.
The delegation comprises the senators representing Borno Central, Kaka Shehu Lawan; Borno North, Mohammed Tahir Monguno; members of the House of Representatives from Borno, Secretary to the State Government, Bukar Tijjani and the Group Chief Executive Officer of Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), Mele Kyari.
