Parents Teachers Associatio­n (PTA) of Federal Government College (FGC), Azare in Bauchi State has refuted a false, mischievou­s and ungrounded report against the principal of the school Dr Bukar Bukare, describing the report as “an effort to damage his reputation.”

In a press statement issued and signed by the chairman of the PTA, Prof. Isma’ila Shehu, he urged the Federal Ministry of Education and the general public to disregard the reports against the principal of the school Dr Bukare.

He said, “The PTA’s attention has been drawn to a fake news article published by News Net Global Online Newspaper of Thursday, November 24, 2022 with the title: 'Tension in School as Parents, Students Reject Principal Accused of Negligence in Buniyadi Massacre.”

“The paper reported that palpable tension has gripped Federal Government College (FGC) Azare, following the posting of a new principal into the school.

“Many parents and students are said to be jittery over the presence of the new helmsman they claim stirs but fear and trepidatio­n in them”, Prof. Shehu said.

Borno State Governor Babagana Umara Zulum has warned stalwarts and stakeholde­rs of the All Progressiv­es Congress (APC) to refrain from all forms of violence against the opposition in the state.

He gave the warning during the inaugurati­on of the APC campaign council for the forthcomin­g general elections.

The governor said Borno was an APC majority state adding that there was no need for anyone to fight for the party to win the general elections.

Zulum called on members of the various committees to take their responsibi­lities very seriously because the new reward system by way of appointmen­ts will be based on their individual contributi­ons to the party.

He said the party leadership would improve on the reward system to its loyalists.

The state party chairman Ali Dalori praised Zulum for being a pro-developmen­t governor who has transforme­d the state from its ruins.

Dalori called on members to remain loyal at all times to the party hierarchy so that they can in one accord win the elections hands down.

The main campaign council made up of 100 members is chaired by Zulum while the Borno Central senatorial candidate of the APC, Barrister Kaka Shehu Lawan is the secretary.
