Published October 28, 2019 Samson Folarin and John Charles The Chairman of Air Peace, Chief Allen Onyema, has refuted insinuations that he intervened in the herders-farmers’ crisis in Benue State because of his alleged political ambition. The philanthropist, who recently airlifted many stranded Nigerians from South Africa, noted that the action was driven by his love for peaceful coexistence in the country. He also denied reports that the National Secretary of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, Alhaji Alhassan Saleh, apologised for the killings in Benue during a peace meeting he organised. Allen spoke on Sunday during a telephone interview with one of our correspondents. The Air peace boss had on Saturday facilitated a meeting between the Miyetti Allah and the Benue State Government. At the meeting, which was attended by top dignitaries of the state government, including Governor Samuel Ortom, Onyema had asked the two warring parties to embrace peace. Saleh had apologised for all that happened, while Ortom had said he was only interested in defending the people of the state. Onyema told The PUNCH that although the meeting was successful, he was surprised at reports that the Miyetti Allah’s secretary apologised for the killings in the state. He said, “Saleh Alhassan, who is the leader of the Miyetti Allah, never admitted to the killings. He never said they were the ones that killed anybody. What he said was that, ‘we are here to make peace with the state.’ “On Saturday, I had called him because I knew his group had been having a running battle with the state government. I felt there should be peace in the country. “The stadium was full and I started by preaching peace to the people of Benue. I told them that somebody was in their midst who they might not want to see before now. I said their governor was peaceful and the man was peaceful. I said he was Salleh Alhassan of Miyetti Allah and there was silence https://punchng.com/my-benue-intervention-for-peace-not-politics-onyema/ 9 Likes 2 Shares

These are the kind of people that should govern this country. Intelligence and calmness with coherent interest in peace and a logical understanding of economics and business. It's painful to see the current political state that has isolated reasonability in politics and widely embraced illiterates and money mongers. No matter how intelligent the populace of this country may be, without insightful and structural leaders, we'd remain Africa's most populous shiithole. 28 Likes 2 Shares |

You see, sometimes your good for this country can easily come back and bite you in the anus. Nigeria is one delusional country where they appreciate the political thugry and thieves on one hand, then turn blind eyes on philanthropist who succeeded in their various businesses even against the odds. All these people making donations and contributions up and down, I suggest you carry those monies to your kindred people and develope them as much as you can instead. 1 Like |

sarrki: The damage has been done, you(sarrki) supported the killer herdsmen and claimed it PDP and IPOB. Buhari's defense minister supported Fulani Jihadist herdsman against Benue State government. The defense minister should apologize to Nigerians for supporting terrorist Miyetti-Allah against State government protecting his people, Miyetti-Allah killed thousands of people and threatened to kill more if the state don't change their law for them, Buhari denied in presence of Trump that the Jihadist killer herdsmen killing Nigerian Christians are foreigners but went on to tell Nigerians to surrender their ancestral to the jihadists in the name of RUGA. None of the jihadist herdsmen was prosecuted after killing thousands of defenseless Nigerians. They even went on to capture villages belonging to indigenous Plateau Christians, chase the villagers out and renamed their villages and Nigerian security agencies did nothing. 13 Likes 1 Share

What was the essence of the meeting if it was only to preach to the warring parties to embrace peace? This type of preaching peace can never lead to actual peace. What was the stand of the Benue Governor and the Miyetti Allah leader? I think they didn't agree. No wonder Ortom was insistent that the Anti grazing Bill was for the good of his people. meaning that Benue State has no intention of repealing it. The meeting would have been successful if one party admitted to its fault and asked for forgiveness So I am asking again, what did the Miyetti Allah leader tell the gathering? Modified I understand he apologized over 'all that happened' 2 Likes |
