The Citizens Against Insurgency (CAI) on Thursday, October 1, condemned the call by the governor of Borno state, Babagana Zulum, to extend an invitation to Chadian troops to help fight Boko Haram terrorists.
CAI said the call by the Borno state governor on the insurgent attacks in the northeast region of Nigeria is "ill-conceived."
In a press statement released by CAI, no governor who also functions as a chief security officer of any state across the country should make such recommendation.
The statement was signed by the director of strategy and communication of the group, Adamu Bala.

"We condemn this call by the Borno state governor underpinned by the lack of understanding about the roles being played by international politics of geostrategic interests and the dynamics of terrorism."
The group further added that if the governor's advice is heeded to, all the efforts by the federal government and the Nigerian military to end the operations of insurgents in the northeast would be jeopardized.
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that Governor Zulum on Wednesday, September 30, called on the federal government of Nigeria to invite military forces from Chad to assist in the fight against Boko Haram.
The governor said engaging the Chadian soldiers in the counter-terrorism fight would record some meaningful successes.

He also said that no army in the world have singlehandedly succeeded in ending any war against insurgency without collaboration.
Recall that Governor Zulum had alleged that some saboteurs are working against efforts made by government authorities in the country to end Boko Haram.
According to Zulum, there is need for President Muhammadu Buhari to look inwards into the security architecture of Nigeria to achieve desired result in counter-terrorism war.
