President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa in Abuja Monday met with shareholders from Benue State over the recent killings in the state and asked them to restrain their people.
Buhari, in a statement later by his spokesman Mr Femi Adesina, called on the government and people of the state to exercise restraint following the recent attacks on some communities.
The president assured that all the perpetrators of violence in the state would be made to face the wrath of the law.
“Your Excellency, the governor, and all the leaders here, I am appealing to you to try to restrain your people. I assure you that the Police, the Department of State Security and other security agencies had been directed to ensure that all those behind the mayhem get punished.
“I ask you in the name of God to accommodate your country men. You can also be assured that I am just as worried, and concerned with the situation,’’ the president said.
He said all those involved in the conflict that culminated in loss of lives would not escape justice, including any illegally armed militia in the state.
He commiserated with all the victims of the attacks, and the families who lost loved ones and properties, noting that the government would make efforts to ameliorate the situation of all the victims.
President Buhari said relevant agencies had been directed to start catering for the humanitarian needs.
He told the delegation that his administration had already begun a process of finding lasting solution to the perennial challenge of herdsmen conflict with farmers and communities around the country.
He said the Inspector-General of Police had been directed to relocate to the state to provide security for lives and properties, urging all Benue indigenes to trust the security agencies and report all suspicious cases of movements in the state.
The statement quoted Governor Sam Ortom, who led the delegation, as saying the tension would be reduced with the Federal Government’s intervention to find a lasting solution to the herdsmen attacks.
“We will leave here to rebuild confidence in our people,’’ he said.
The Tor-Tiv, Prof. James Ortese Iorzua Ayatse, was quoted as saying his entire domain had been thrown into mourning due to the incessant attacks.. https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/killings-buhari-tells-benue-leaders-to-restrain-their-people.html

Kindly make the arrests as quickly as possible. The souls of the innocent are crying for justice

Yes, soo good. This is why we must be careful in the next 2019 general election

For every presidential aspirant, here is our requirement checklist if you actually want us to cast our votes for you in the coming 2019 election.

We don't care about what political party you belong to anymore -whether old party or new party, popular or unpopular; we don't care about what religion anymore; we don't care about what tribe or region anymore but
You

1. Must attend not less than 3 presidential debates: how do we know you're mentally stable and not a slowpoke if you cannot give reasonable responses to simple debate questioning?

2. Must undergo medical qualification tests: both the psychiatricals and others. The result must be verified by a notable medical panel and must be made availale to the general public.
People do medical tests even for secondary school admission, so why not for presidency aspiration.

3. Must have a governing plan (just like a business plan or a master plan) and make it available to the general public through the all the social media channels.
Bank cannot commit their cash to people without a good business plan with clearly written goals and objectives, figures, strategies and a guarantor, so how much more should we commit the life, future and properties of more than 150millions Nigerians to you without a plan.
In the plan must also be indicated your personer track records of successes.

4. Must have more than secondary school education. (There's nothing new about this)

5. Must have at least one of your children educated in a public university in Nigeria (not private): by this we will surely know that you believe in the future of Nigeria and that you will work towards her betterment.
This is a price not too much to pay if you realy love us.
We are tired of insensitivity of government towards the development of standards of educational setup in Nigeria, the strikes and industrial actions.

6. Must be a patronage of Nigerian made products and services and you must believe in capacity building of Nigerian indigenous businesses to provide exportable products and services to neighbouring countries, Africa and the world at large.

7. Must be wide reader and self development enthusiast: If you don't constantly feed your mind with transformative, educative and informative ideas through books, you don't have a business doing with presidency in Nigeria.
We are tired of archaic approaches to human governing. We need mordern, liberated and future oriented leaders to lead us in Nigeria, not power mongers, who just want to be in government for power, fame and monetary gain.

8. Must be within the working age range (younger than 60 years): "what's good for the goose is good for the gander".
Towards old age, people become less and less physically, socially, mentally and psychologically fit to cope with occupational demands, not to talk of rulling a nation of more than150million citizens, so retirement is compulsory.
The retirement age in Nigeria civil service guided by decree No. 102 of 1979 that dealt with pension and gratuity pegged the statutory age of retirement for public officers at 60 years, while it is 65 years for judiciary officers and 70 for academic staff of universities. However with reform of civil service decree No. 43 of 1988, retirement age has been put at 60 years or 35 years in service.

9. Must have no public record of hate speech, tribalism, nepotism, crime against humanity, pending corruption charges or history, and or affiliation with any millitant group or religion fundamentalist group or terrorist group :
We will never ever think again that people will change. Ascenssion to power only gives people the chance to express their true self.

10. Must have done something contributary to the development of your immediate environment: this is simple, is'nt it?

11. Must be well educated about the constitution of Nigeria. We are tired of reminding the government what to do and what's not to do. We are tired of reminding the government about what's in the costitution they swear to uphold. This is 21st century.
The INEC in collaoration with the National Assembly and the Judiciary Counsel of Nigeria should create an online platform where common citizen can get proper education about the Nigerian constitution. They should maku use of shot animated videos and other training material. Certificates should also be awarded.

The man is sick

Promise and promise till Benue people are annihilated!
In other words you are telling dem to do nothing while they are being slaughtered abi?

Has Buhari ever called on Miyetti Allah to restrain their Fulani herdsmen?

Buhari, may your household be restrained when faced with difficulties. Idddiootic old man with idiotic aides.

Buhari is a green snake in a green grass. I can bet that he knows when the next attack by the herdsmen will happen.

Buhari is a disease that must be cured (removed from Aso Rock) before his kinsmen kill every nonfulani. Did he make promises against Shiites or Ipob? No, he took action and we saw the gory result of that actions. But against these murderers he will only make promises but no action.
This man and his supporters are murderers. If you attempt to defend yourself, he will take actions against you, not promising to act.
Can't everyone see the dark mind of that murderer.

We are yet to hear him call macban the umbrella body of fulani herdsmen to restrain their terrorist members, now he knows the people are ready to give it back to them in their own coin he is talking crap.

And The Action Should Be Taking Fastly, They Should Arrest The Real Culprit Behind The Incident

" He said all those involved in the conflict that culminated in loss of lives would not escape justice, including any illegally armed militia in the state."


The so-called illegally armed militia are the main target here.

Everything will be done to make sure the people remain vulnerable and unable to defend themselves even after government has failed to do so.

President of the Sh|t Hole

Donald trump was right finally finally...

PA Buhari will never invite Miyetti people!

Benue people (Militia) has the right of self defense.

And how will you accommodate a country man who destroys both life and properties. Countrymen who told you your laws aren't gonna work.

PMB is glaringly bias in favor of Fulanis.

Buhari will go after the vigilantee groups form to protect their communities than touch Fulani terrorists herdsmen.

Just like i have been sounding the alarm all over the internet space, Benue people watch your back oooo!! IGP Ibrahim Idris will not keep you safe....He is an in law to Etsu Nupe who is a close ally of Sultan Sokoto and they are all down for this Jihad.
Cattle rustling in Zamfara which is all about fulani stealing cow from his fellow fulani but army was sent there to quell that!
Army was sent to crush and pillage IPOB!
Army was sent to intimidate and crush Niger delta militant!
Army was sent to crush mambilla people for dearing to confront fulani!
Same army and aerial bombardment was sent to Numan!
But genocide in Benue Buhari sent Police led by Ibrahim Idris to protect you?? Can you smell the coffee already??
Read through here and understand this is a glaring genocide and ethno-religious cleansing by a dark, vicious, satanic,devious,heinous thick grand jihadic conspiracy for land and kingdom expansion by blood thirsty and demonic fulani herdsman!

https://dailywatchng.org/conspiracy-herdsmen-attack-land-conquest/

This is all planned out and you have to be vigilant and be on red alert ooo.
Now you have your president pleading for you to secede your land to accommodate your fellow country men in marauding blood thirsty fulani herdsman just to complete their mission!
It is taking ages to arrest the blood thirsty fulani marauder but already about 60 people were arrest in Markurdi yesterday for suspicion and he is sending relief materials to you where you have been displaced to while your deserted land is been pillage and rampaged by fulani!
Please dont take this warning lightly ooo...And if you are in doubt; events that will follow in months to come will clear every doubt.
Peace!

Same way arewa youth terrorist were arrested.

Mad people everywhere

This man is truly a bastar.d!

Buhari is a really the parochial,bigoted and clannish man that he is and will ever be.Imagine the president of a country.

If this news is true then, we have a president with children brain, accomodate who

Senseless dullard

Imagine the bigot president.

Something is really wrong with this man I swear

Trump should have said that African leaders are sh*t holes not the African populace.
The so called president is even finding it difficult to condemn the massacre.

Your Excellency, you have spoken as a leader should, and the people of Benue state would take your advice and remain calm, believing you will do as you said and your instruction to the various security agencies will be carried out.

But if there should be more killings in Benue state, it will be very difficult to restrain the people, so in other for us not have anarchy in the state, please all hands should be on deck to ensure this those not happen again in the state and other state.

It may interest you to know that your coming back to office will be determine by how you are able to manage this herds men issues,just like GEJ regime was decided by Chibok Girls and Boko haram and Corruption, as for your regime, you have failed in terms of fighting corruption, becasue your government has been linked to multiple corrupt cases by high government ranking officials, the fight against Boko Haram is getting worse, and now the herds men are on a killing spree.

Mr. President pls do the needful to stop this herdsmen.

Buhari couldn't just disappoint his critics small, fùckin ethnic irredentist

While you should get the forces under your command to restrain those psychotic herds creatures! Being president is not all about dollars, AC's, munching chicken and gisting with ass kissers!
