BUHARI HAS ABANDONED US –Benue Laments

President Muhammadu Buhari

In March 2015, about 373,961 out of the 683,264 eligible indigenes of Benue who voted, stood in the sun to cast their vote behind Gen (Rtd) Muhammedu Buhari to make him sweep the presidencial election of that year. Little did they know that they did not vote for peace and security as they had anticipated. Lamenting recently in Makurdi, a renown clergy, Pastor Abel Uloko who could no longer contain his feelings yelled out:

“THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA led by President Buhari have abandoned Governor Ortom and the Good People of Benue State in the Wake of the Massacre that Fulani Herdsmen Terrorists have brought upon us.

“The Good Governor in his wisdom and defence of the people he's called to serve and protect recently Passed a Law prohibiting Open Grazing in Benue. This has infuriated the blood thirsty herders and they're avowed to stop @ nothing until Benue is reduced to a mere rubble hence this new wave of evil upon us.

Pastor Abel Uloko

“The Governor has no Jurisdiction in the deployment of the Joint Military of the Army, the Navy and the Airforce even the Paramilitary Police Force. The President whose sole palm the power reside have gone Quite on us, so deaf to hear to Weeping and Hollering of a Pained and dying Benue People, so dumb to Speak to Still our Storm and Calm the waves.

“We have taken our Case to God and we're Challenging the International Community and Bodies to come to our rescue in the face of an imminent Genocide.”

This cry came at the heel of a brutal attack meted out to the people of Benue on 2^nd January, 2018 by suspected Fulani by herdsmen on where about 20 people including a pregnant woman were feared dead and others severely wounded.
