It Would Have Been Better If Tinubu Didn’t Visit Benue – Farotimi (video) by SamGift0817(op): 12:02pm On Jun 19, 2025

Human rights activist and lawyer Dele Farotimi has stated that it would have been better if President Bola Tinubu had not visited Benue State than to visit the state and remain unfeeling towards the plight of its people.

Farotimi said the only person who said anything of note during the president’s visit to Makurdi, the Benue State capital on Wednesday, was the Tor Tiv V, James Ayatse, who described the attacks as a “calculated, well-planned, full-scale genocidal invasion and land grabbing campaign by herder terrorists and bandits”.

“I must say very quickly that it would have been better if the president didn’t go,” the lawyer said

He actually messed up the Benue situation the same way he messed up the Nigerian economy.

Please don't ever quote or mention me again

Just continue with the blocking as I also don't have interest in reading from you.

It's shameful and disgraceful to have blocked me before and still be quoting me

Hahahahahahah, and you drove the topic to tribal rants instead of facing me with the incompetence allegation? grin

Absolutely true. The duncehead went to Benue not to empathize with the beleaguered citizens but for political campaign. Otherwise why didn't he even visit the current epicenter of bloodshed and killings @ Yelwata?

Pupils stood in the rain to welcome Tinubu while rain beat them.This is definitely because their teachers and incompetent Governor Alia instructed them to do so.

Tinubu couldn't order his convoy to stop and tell the pupils to return home immediately.
There's something about empathy - nobody can fake it because if you don't have it, you don't have it. Tinubu has no empathy and conscience.

If seun can agree, I will block you for 700 years now, but blocking you every week is tiring. I will keep quoting you since seun want it that way, correcting your puerile doses of hate filled posts is supposed to be a patriotic assignment.

Go ahead and stop ranting. You don't even have a shame to be quoting me again after you are already tired of the blocking

Stop quoting or mentioning me again except if you don't have an iota of shame

You only know how to display bitterness and frustrations on this forum. Nothing more
Stop dragging the issue to tribal bashing, Farotimi said your boss is incompetent, is that true? grin

And are you the Dele Farotimi that I directed my comments to?

No be person wey get empathy dey get human feelings? The man never pretended, he is stone hearted and proud about it. He showed enough of that in Lagos as governor.

Another fraudulent follower of Obi looking for patronage

From the day this man put Obi and integrity in the same sentence I knew he's overrated and just usual activism for food to eat

Calling people ‘sore losers’ for criticizing a carnival-style visit to a state ravaged by violence and insecurity is exactly what’s wrong with blind loyalty. This isn’t about politics it’s about empathy and priorities.

Benue has lost countless lives. When the president visits, it should be with concrete plans, compassion, and urgency not photo-ops, celebrations, or school children lining the roads under the rain to welcome him.

Nigerians aren’t asking for too much just leadership that puts people above optics. Speaking out isn’t bitterness. It’s called conscience.

The Yoruba president went to Benue and told victims to share their land with foreign jihadist terrorist for peace to reign.The most useless commander in Chief to occupy Aso Rock.

you guys are very funny, please tell me after politics, what else does the president know how to do, nothing ,put him in another sphere he will be completely lost.
See the way he is governing Nigeria, it doesn't seem to be able to get anything right, all the covering up by the media when he was governor is àlmost gone, and social media is not helping matters
If it were to be before the Yelwata killings would have been watered down by the heavily induced media
