BREAKING: Tinubu to visit Benue on Wednesday
President Bola Tinubu has announced plans to visit Benue State on Wednesday to commiserate with residents following recent attacks in the region.
“I will adjust my programme and go see Benue people on Wednesday,” the President stated on Monday during the commissioning of the Greater Abuja Water Supply Network in the Federal Capital Territory.
The President extended his condolences to the people of Benue and the families of those who lost their lives in the attacks. He urged the community to remain united, manage internal differences, and foster peace.
The planned visit comes amid criticism from opposition figures Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, who faulted the President’s initial silence and absence from the state in the aftermath of the violence.
Benue State has experienced a series of violent incidents attributed to suspected herdsmen. The longstanding conflict has been linked to inter-communal tensions and land disputes between indigenous farming communities and nomadic pastoralists.
