Femi Adesina, media aide to President Muhammadu Buhari, says his principal did not visit Benue state because he does not want to politicise the killings in the North-Central state.

Recall that 73 persons died after an attack by men suspected to be herders on January 1st in the State.

Buhari had come under severe scrutiny for not visiting the Food Basket of the nation after the incident.

But in an article, entitled “Why I stand with Buhari”, Adesina noted that Buhari would have cashed in on the situation to score some cheap political points by visiting.

He wrote that “After primitive fury was unleashed in Benue, and about 73 people were left dead, a sitting President eyeing reelection could also play politics with it, visiting and muttering the right words to impress the people. Nothing wrong.

“But for President Buhari, action speaks louder than words. Action stations, he told the security agencies. The Deputy Inspector General of Police in charge of Operations was first despatched, then the Minister of Interior, the Inspector General of Police himself, and then the Nigerian Army.

“Consultations were held with the governor of the state, with Benue elders, and now, a committee headed by the Vice President, made up of nine governors, has been set up to proffer solutions to farmers/herdsmen clashes. Action truly speaks louder than words.”

You will only visit there when it is fully conquered

Is it rather not wise if you don't have any meaningful thing to say

Solution has already been preferred na. Abi cattle colonies no go work again? Why set up another committee headed by the VP and nine governors to chase shadows.

bubu na patron

he will visit any day they kill a cow remember he values cow more than human life

Meaningless excuses!


Smh

Adeshina Na devil go punish you and Buhari

Ohhh how terrible is wisdom when it's not profitable to the wise


I hope he won't go there for 2019 campaign..

Don't mind the wailers. No amount of politically motivated killing will deny Baba presidency in 2019.
Baba till 2023 jare!

Thats arrant nonsense. If its time to campaign now he'll run like a cat to benue to seek for their vote buh now that they're in pain instead of him to go sympathize with them, he's there giving stupid and flimsy excuses.

Fish brain bigot

Adesina just shut up.

Buhari didn't go there because he can't bad mouth the ethnic cleansing by his kinsmen especially when he is their grand patron.

But by not going not only did he politicised it but he also tribalised it ..Buhari is just a very bad egg that must be discarded

The truth must be told.Mr.Buhari the grand patron of miyetti Allah not going to Benue state speaks volume . Buhari kinsmen can't be killing with impunity without action to arrest the perpetrators . His visit to Benue state will amount to mockery and insult to the death and the bereaved .
So save yourself the stress Mr.Adesina.Posterity will judge you and your principal.

But he almost kept vigil at the clinic where his son was admitted following his speed-induced accident..

However, visiting Benue during its dark days when 73 citizens including a four year old, a pregnant woman and 76 year old lost their lives was not necessary..

Remember God oh, Femi Adeshina and PMB

Nigeria is completely finished with things like Adesina having access to government.

This adewere with him useless explanations. Buhari didnt want to policised his visiting of his son in the hospital
