Benue Still Bleeding – Peter Obi Laments Latest Attack by Fareke(op): 5:11pm On Sep 12

The Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has lamented the latest killings in Benue State by suspected herders.

In a statement posted on his verified X handle on Saturday, Obi said it is saddening that killings in Benue State continue unabated.

According to him, no words can fully express the pain of losing innocent lives to violence.

Recall that the latest attack took place at Ayilamo, Logo Local Government Area of the state, where locals and security personnel were killed.

The former Anambra State governor called on the Federal Government and all security agencies to take urgent action, bring the perpetrators to justice, and, most importantly, prevent the recurring attacks.

"My heart goes out to the families who have once again been forced to bury their loved ones, and to the entire people of Logo. I share in your pain.

“Only days ago, I travelled to Benue to stand with families devastated by violence in Yelwata. Even in that moment of grief, when all that should have mattered was humanity, my attempt to reach the affected community was disrupted.

“Yet that experience has only strengthened my conviction that we must never become indifferent to the suffering of our people.

"Whether the victim is a farmer, a child, a police officer, a soldier, a Christian, a Muslim, or a person of any ethnic group, every Nigerian life has equal value. We must stop counting our dead and start protecting our living.

“My deepest condolences to the bereaved families. May God comfort them, receive the souls of the departed, and give our nation the wisdom and courage to confront this evil decisively.

“A nation that cannot protect the lives of its citizens has a duty to ask itself some very difficult questions. We must do better. We must secure Nigeria,” Obi said.

Which kind of nonsense politics is that now

It's not that if this same Benue government launched any new projects, you will praise them, why then are you focusing on their misfortunes if you can't celebrate their success

I'm sorry I don't really pity those useless idiots again.

In fact from what I'm seeing, they are the people killing themselves and not even the Fulanis like it is widely reported.

The hired babablu thugs could not block the herdsmen.

Maybe, the herdsmen sent an official notice to the government. So that's why they didn't send thugs to block the herdsmen.

Bro, could you believe the sit at home is still active in Anambra state precisely as banks don't work on Mondays.

The same Peter Obi never said peem all through out the 2 years official sit at home in South East..

Is Obi telling us he's more concerned about the happenings elsewhere but just don't give a hoot about what goes in South East,?

Self indictment.
Since you accepted that killings are also going on in Kwara, Sokoto, Kebbie,and Zamfara states, what is your president Tinubu of Nigeria doing in office, and not resigned yet?
He swore under oath to protect the lives and properties of Nigerians.

Considering the staggering number of Nigerians that have lost their lives to insecurity since 2015, our population ought to have sunk below the 200 million threshold.

Good thing Nigerian women have productive wombs and northerners largely practise polygamy.
