A FRIEND IN NEED IS A FRIEND INDEEED

The death of the 73 citizens of Benue state who were murdered by rampaging Fulani herdsmen has indeed shown the Benue people where their true friendship lies.

It will be recalled that Governors on the platform of All Progressive Congress, APC had visited Benue state on an acclaimed commiserating visit, a visit which many have adjudged as a mockery visit given that the only pronounced words on their lips during the visit was the castigation of the South-south, Ohanaeze, Afenifere, Middle Belt forum that Visited to Benue state earlier, they did not show any form of sympathy to the Benue people.

It is unfortunate to know that a delegation which comprised of Mr. Kashim Shetima of Borno state, Barr. Simon Lalong of Plateau state, Mallam El Rufai of Kaduna state, Yahaya Bello of Kogi state, Mohammadu Abubakar of Jigawa state and the Deputy of Governor of Osun state, Chief Mrs. Grace Titilayo Tomori came on a sympathy visit to Benue state without a tea spoon in their hands let alone cash donations.

In a similar vein the National Chairman of APC Chief John Oyiegun came to Benue state during the burial of this anti open grazing heroes without a toilet tissue.

Today a high powered delegation of the Rivers people led by Gov. Nyesom Wike and donated a sum of N200 million to the Benue state government to ameliorate the sufferings of the displaced persons and also took out time to visit the graves of the dead people.

Where does the Fate of Benue state lies in this political marriage called Northern Nigeria and the All Progressive Congress, APC.

A friend in need is a friend indeed.
