BENUE, MORE IMPORTANT THAN IRAN!
By Ebikefe Frank
President Bola Tinubu’s government has indeed condemned Israel’s attack on Iran, calling for an immediate cessation of hostilities and urging both parties to exercise restraint. However, Nigerians are criticizing him for not speaking out about the recent massacre in Benue State, where over 200 people were reportedly killed by terrorists.
Many are questioning the value of Nigerian lives, given the president’s swift response to international incidents, such as sending condolences to the Prime Minister of India after a plane crash, while remaining silent on domestic tragedies. Some notable figures, like Atiku Abubakar, have also slammed Tinubu for his perceived indifference to the Benue killings
Key Developments:
– President Tinubu’s Statement on Iran-Israel Conflict: Condemned Israel’s attack, urging restraint and peaceful resolution.
– Benue Killings: Over 200 people reportedly killed, sparking outrage and calls for presidential action.
– Presidential Response: Tinubu has ordered security agencies to end violence in affected states, including Benue, Plateau, Borno, and Kwara.
It’s worth noting that President Tinubu has met with security chiefs, directing them to overhaul national security strategies and tackle insecurity. The president has also stated “Enough is enough” regarding the killings in these states.
