Group Commends Gov. Alia, Berate Akume over Benue Killings

From: Joyce Amos 


The Ndi Igbo Youths Association has commended Governor Hyacinth Alia's efforts in addressing the recent killings in Benue State. In a statement signed by the group's Publicity Secretary, Amb. Emeka Ezeagu, they called on authorities to support the Governor in bringing an end to the ongoing genocide. The group believes that collective action is necessary to restore peace and stability in the region.

The group described the incident as unfortunate, emphasizing the need for urgent action from both the Federal and State Governments to arrest and bring the perpetrators to justice. They stressed that the situation demands immediate attention and decisive measures to protect citizens. The ongoing violence has caused immense suffering, and it is imperative that leaders take swift action.

The Ndi Igbo Youths Association expressed deep disappointment over the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume's response to the crisis. His silence and lack of empathy amidst the ongoing destruction of properties and killings in Benue State are unacceptable. Given his position, it is expected that he would be more proactive in addressing such critical issues.

The group's condemnation of Senator Akume's inaction stems from the belief that his role demands more engagement and leadership in times of crisis. Instead of being part of the solution, his silence suggests a lack of concern for the plight of Benue State citizens. The Ndi Igbo Youths Association believes that Senator Akume should be more vocal and actively involved in seeking solutions to the crisis.

The Ndi Igbo Youths Association further criticized Senator Akume's approach, stating that his lack of empathy towards the victims and their families is disheartening. In times of such tragedy, leaders should demonstrate compassion and a commitment to finding solutions. Senator Akume's silence only exacerbates the suffering of the people.

The group urged President Bola Ahmad Tinubu and the international community to intervene and bring an end to the bloodshed caused by terrorists in Benue State. They appreciated Governor Alia's response to the crisis, highlighting the need for collective efforts to restore peace. The situation requires a multifaceted approach to ensure the protection of citizens and the restoration of normalcy.

According to the Ndi Igbo Youths Association, this is not a time for politics but a time for collective action to ensure peace and stability in Benue State. They called on all stakeholders to join hands with Governor Alia to address the crisis. The focus should be on finding lasting solutions rather than assigning blame.

The Ndi Igbo Youths Association remains committed to advocating for peace and stability in Benue State, working with government officials and other stakeholders to ensure the protection of citizens and the restoration of normalcy in the region. They believe that with concerted efforts, peace can be restored, and the people of Benue State can live without fear of violence.
