Wednesday saw President Bola Tinubu’s visit to Benue State, where he expressed his condolences for the loss of life in the recent events.
After the horrific killing in Yelwata, Guma Local Government Area, which caused widespread indignation in the nation, the President held a meeting with important state stakeholders.
During the Town Hall meeting, Tinubu confronted the state governor and security officials with commands in light of the crisis.
His directive was to establish a Council of Elders that would include all prior governors, including the one from Nasarawa State. He had approached the state governor with a request to have ranchland allotted to him.
The President of Benue State called on all Benueans to stand together in the fight against evil. They coexist well with their neighbours. He urged traditional leaders to work with the state to promote harmony.
Tinubu went on to tell Governor Inncent Alia that criticism is inevitable for any leader and that he should be prepared for it. He likened the governor’s situation to a leader reaching out for a lantern in order to find solutions together.
