Where's the best you can do, maybe i can emulate you. Do you expect me to wail and mourn over human lives on the thread? This is politics section of the forum, not a cemetery or burial ceremony.
But you can shift blame on the thread instead of calling out the authority to uphold the oath they sworn to.

i did not shift blame, who did i blame? Is the governor not authority?

Where did I specifically talk about about Benue? Can you point that out? I was generally speaking. Was Ruga proposed only for Benue?
Can you point where I said you specifically talked about Benue?

Apart from d first question, are the other questions about Benue?

Why didn't you answer them?

why is Benue the best place to experiment RUGA?

why has RUGA not implemented in all the northern states?

or is that not where all the cattle and their herdsmen are from?

Some folks will moan about state of emergency that they are fighting against in Rivers. Confused souls. They forgot to ask for state of emergency in almost all south east states that lamidi kanu and his boy boy turned to abattoir and Sapa hqtrs until recently.
Thanks to the governor, Pit lambarino go don dress up to go snap pics for Benue, forget him backyard.
What has hypertension got to do with people being killed in Benue?

If SOE was declared in rivers because of pipeline, why has that same SOE not been declared in Benue?

Is pipeline of greater value than human lives?

Gaslighter, the cause of the hypertension was that the region was turned to abattoir. You want to compare Benue to Rivers but don't want comparison with other states? Do you see any connection between pipelines and human lives?

You shifted your point to those calling for State of Emergency which has nothing to do with thread because you don't want to call the C-in-C who is in charge of the security forces.

No! Governor is not the authority, your C-in-C is the authority.

Tinubu himself said security of the Nation is at the President's shoulder, why bringing Governor into this?

Okay, so i didn't shift blame like you falsely accused me of, i shifted point. Fair enough, it's a political topic, and statement of emergency is on the table of many people attacking and blaming, so i helped them with the point. You can't condemn and complain about SOE and still ask for or recommend it at every negative news.

Notice that you said security of the Nation, not state. Though that's not really what the president said but i get your point. Governors have constitutional and moral responsibility to govern and secure their states. They receive huge security votes. They control billions of naira budgetted for security. They know their terrain, local governments, traditional leaders and unions better. They have ability to form joint task forces and other paramilitary bodies to secure themselves. They have lockdowns and curfews. If after all these, they are somehow incompetent, they can liase with the FG for help. You need to pass or attempt these steps in a democracy. If the FG intervenes or sends in the military, it is still folks like you that would be lamenting how we're not in dictatorship, how FG is unconstitutional, how Legislative is legalizing unconstitutionality, etc.
