The convener of the group, Mohammed Ali, said President Buhari enjoys demigod status in the state owing to his giant strides which date back to his military days. "The attention of Borno Coalition for Justice has been drawn to the despicable attempt at embarrassing President Muhammdu Buhari, who visited Borno State for a condolence visit in the aftermath of the Boko Haram attack in Auno recently," Ali said. Ali said it is impossible for the same people to turn their backs on him. "The Borno Coalition for Justice is indeed by the display of hypocrisy by the government of Borno state for allowing street urchins under the sponsorship of aides and advisers of the Governor throw tantrums at the convoy of President Muhammadu Buhari," Ali said. He advised Zulum to call his political aides to order and go a step further by tendering an unreserved apology to the president.

Ali, however, pleaded with President Buhari not to be perturbed and continue his drastic approach to insecurity by declaring a state of emergency on the state. He alleged that it is no longer a hidden secret that the political godfather of the Governor of Borno state has been interested in one of the highest offices in the country and he has indeed set out machinery towards actualizing this in ways too numerous to mention. "We also wish to state that the hatred towards President Muhammadu Buhari must stop henceforth as it would serve no purpose in the long run because the people of Borno State sees in President Muhammadu Buhari a revered idol," he said. He said the Borno state governor must realize that "the street urchins that they paid to cause an embarrassment to President Muhammadu Buhari would one day constitute themselves into a nuisance in the state."
