A All Progressive Congress chieftain in Benue state Arc Asema Achado has urged people of Benue state to close ranks and tackle the problem of herdsmen attacks .
I am however more worried that many people in Benue are more interested in discussing the politics of these heinous attacks than the damage they have visited on Benue, by apportioning blames and counter blames, as though the herders attack only members of a particular tribe, group or political party. This is uncalled for, to say the least.
Provision of security is the primary function of government at all levels but we all have our roles to play by volunteering information and rising to the occasion in necessary ways. People of the South West have put before us a very big difference between party politics and common interest. By embracing the Amotekun Security Network, the Yorubas irrespective of political affiliation have sent a stern signal that they are willing to safeguard their people and their party differences could wait. Why can’t we do same in Benue?
