Comrade Daniel Onjeh, the APC Senatorial Candidate for Benue South in the 2023 General Elections, has decried the recent surge in deadly attacks on innocent citizens of Benue State, which left a trail of death and destruction in its wake. “These senseless acts of violence” Onjeh stated, “have claimed numerous lives and properties, especially in the rural areas.
Despite this, Onjeh urged Governor Alia not to be cowed or deterred from striving to provide good governance to his people and build the foundation for a strong and prosperous state. He commended the Governor’s resilience and determination to bring positive change to the state, which has faced stiff resistance from beneficiaries of the old corrupt regime.
“I humbly suggest that Governor Alia should expeditiously constitute a fact-finding committee to critically investigate the recent dastardly attacks in the state, to reveal all its masterminds and perpetrators. In any case, the nature of the attacks leaves much room for suspicion that it is the deliberate handiwork of the governor’s sworn detractors,” stated Onjeh.
Expatiating further on the state of insecurity in Benue State, Onjeh warned that if it is left to fester, some unscrupulous politicians might take advantage of the situation to incite people against Governor Alia, with false claims that as the state’s Chief Security Officer, he is not doing enough to tackle insecurity. “But we all know that is not true,” Onjeh said. “Fr. Alia is doing everything humanly possible to ensure that his people live in peace, security, and prosperity.
