ATTENTION: BENUE STATE GOVERNOR

The last administration in Benue State and in Nigeria was unnecessarily good at issuing press releases to condemn the attacks and killings of people in the state and the country. Though, the former Governor Samuel Ortom was relentlessly speaking out, but he could not prevent the killings.

 In this new administration, condemnation of invasions and killings of our people should be matched with actions, and not press releases and the mere words of mouth. There was a press release on the killing of people in Akpuuna Village in Mbaterem, Ukum LGA of the state to condemn the act. It should not stop at that, action should be taken to bring the perpetrators to justice so that others with similar intentions would learn.

Remember that in your inaugural speech, you said you were already aware of the task ahead of you and you promised to address issues without shifting blame. Your followers won’t take any excuse from you after failing to address disturbing issues in order to achieve the needed development.

 Your Excellency Sir, I wish you well and I believe that you have what it takes to address the insecurity in the state especially as some of the killings are not coming from the Fulani herdsmen but from your own Tiv People against fellow Tiv.
