Benue State Government has
expressed displeasure over President Muhammadu Buhari’s failure to address
critical issues during his visit to the state on Monday.
Buhari was in the state on Monday
to commiserate with the government and people of the state over herdsmen
killings in the state.
Tahav Agerzua, the Special
Adviser, Media & ICT to the Governor said they expected President Buhari to
address the threat by herdsmen that they will wipe out citizens of the state.
Speaking on Channels TV Sunrise
programme, Argezua said, “The President was in
Benue but failed to address the situation on ground. Some set of people issued
a threat six months back to kill Benue people. These people did not just
execute this threat by killing hundreds of people, they also destroyed property
worth billions of Naira and displaced over 170,000 people.
“The Benue people were expecting
the president to tell them why these people, who issued these threats have not
been arrested,” he said.
Speaking on President Buhari’s
query to the IG of police for flouting his order, the governor’s aide said, “We
are not concerned about the president giving the IG a query, our major concerns
are that we have over 170,000 displaced people in our internally displaced persons’
camps.
“The Governor asked the President
to come to the aid of the IDPs because the state resources have been over
stressed. We are still waiting to hear from the president.”
