Let the People of Benue Speak For Themselves Too\u2019 in response to an editorial in one of the national dailies.<\/p>\n<p>He said the Benue people knew the truth as they used their democratic privilege to resoundingly kick out Ortom and his so-called People\u2019s Democratic Party in favour of a new governor, Reverend Father Hyacinth Iornem Alia from Buhari\u2019s party, the All Progressives Congress (APC).<\/p>\n<p>The presidential spokesman, who said it was \u201cthey who had experienced first-hand the mass killings, the torture, the litany of atrocities as Benue\u2019s security situation plummeted ever further\u201d, added that it was \u201cthey who buried their loved ones while watching their careless, irresponsible and incompetent governor politicise on those freshly dug graves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On the steps taken by the president to tackle the Benue issue, he mentioned: \u201cA number of in-person meetings with the Governor of Benue State and other community leaders, assuring them of the Federal Government\u2019s commitment to protecting farmers and communities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe establishment and funding of Joint Security Operations, code-named Operation Whirl Stroke (OWS). To date, the OWS Team remains in place. A number of OWS security agents have given their lives protecting the people of Benue. Many were endangered further by Ortom\u2019s fake news and disinformation campaigns, and his unwillingness to engage with the project.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe deployment of special security forces to flash-points in the State including the Nigerian Army, Nigerian Air Force, Nigerian Navy, Nigerian Police Force, Department of State Services and other security agencies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe deployment of an array of NAF fighter aircraft, Mi-35 helicopter gunships as well as Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance platforms. The Deployment of ten (10) Units of the Police Mobile Force, Ten (10) Units of Police Special Forces (Tactical Operation Units) and Aerial Surveillance Teams (Police Helicopters).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Acquisition and deployment of modern military armaments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe provision of timely and actionable intelligence to Ortom (which were routinely ignored).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe prompt provision of humanitarian support to victims via the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shehu added, \u201cDespite these efforts, we know that the new Governor, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia, has his work cut out. In his own words, he is inheriting a State that is in the Intensive Care Unit. Perhaps if disgraced Governor Ortom had been more concerned with doing his job than politisicing the tragedies so frequently taking place under his watch, the situation in Benue might be very different, like in any of its neighbours \u2013 Taraba, Nasarawa, the FCT \u2013 which all enjoy peace.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInstead, Ortom stubbornly refused to engage with the detailed, holistic approach clearly spelt out by the Federal Government. He arrogantly chose his own, destructive path. He blamed the Fulani for every problem that arose. He ignored numerous intelligence reports passed to him for action. He rejected police findings into investigations that didn\u2019t meet his egotistical worldview. He politicized every life lost on his watch.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, thank God the people of Benue rejected him so roundly at elections. His contract was not renewed. He failed a Senate election. Even the person he endorsed for Governorship was rejected.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey know better than anyone else the true reasons for the situation in Benue. If anyone is looking for someone to blame, just ask the people of Benue.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Presidency has elucidated moves taken by President Muhammadu Buhari to halt the perennial wanton killings in Benue State.
