It’s Unfair To Insinuate That Buhari Is Condoning Killings —presidency by Ebullience(m): 5:32pm On Jan 09, 2018 |
Olalekan Adetayo, Abuja The Presidency on Tuesday said it was unfair and unkind for anybody or group to keep insinuating that President Muhammadu Buhari is condoning killings in Benue State and other parts of the country. The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, stated this in a statement made available to journalists in Abuja. Shehu said the President was conscious of his duty to Nigerians, not least because he is held accountable for everything that goes wrong. He said Buhari was also worried about public pronouncements and finger-pointing which he described as unhelpful to peaceful coexistence in the country. The presidential spokesman said, “President Muhammadu Buhari has been concerned about these conflicts each time he received those very gruesome pictures of mayhem from several parts of the country, especially as it affected Benue and neighbouring states. “He is equally worried about some public pronouncements and finger-pointing that are, in most cases very unhelpful to peaceful coexistence of our diverse peoples. “The President is conscious of his duty to Nigerians, not least because he is held accountable for everything that goes wrong. He deeply sympathises with the families and all the other direct and indirect victims of this violence. He is determined to bring it to a permanent end. “While there are many Nigerians who see the conflict between the nomadic herdsmen and peasant farmers as an ethnic problem, others point to religious differences and agenda. The President does not subscribe to such simplistic reductionism. “President Buhari holds the view, as do many experts, that these conflicts are more often than not, as a result of major demographic changes in Nigeria. When Nigeria attained independence, the population of the country was estimated at about 63,000,000. “Today the population is estimated at close to 200,000,000; while the land size has not changed and will not change. Urban sprawl and development have simply reduced land area both for peasant farming and cattle grazing. “It is therefore both unfair and unkind, for anyone to keep insinuating that the President is condoning the spate of killings in Benue and other neighbouring states. “President Buhari has publicly condemned the violence at every turn. He is prepared to permit every possible step that can lead to the stoppage of the killings.” http://punchng.com/its-unfair-to-insinuate-that-buhari-is-condoning-killings-presidency/amp/?__twitter_impression=true 1 Like

No arrest, no penalty to serve as deterrence since your administration came to power. Many atrocities has been committed by this terrorist group and nothing is been done. How do we know your administration care when there is no visible push to to stop the killings. There is a saying, "it's not what people say that count, it is what they do that fully depicts what they truly believe in and the result they get" why? Because, words is just words...action follows certain critical thinking, evaluating the consequences of your actions before initiation. If Buhari truly cares, this is a case of murder. Let there be manhunt for these perpetrators, arrest be made and full wrath of law to take over. Again, this is Nigeria, hence the case will soon be swept under the rug. 5 Likes |

We are more than fair oo, given his inactions despite the killings. Infact we are extremely fair not to even say Buhari is the one sponsoring the herdsmen killing. Tell Buhari to quickly send Army to ground the Herdsmen.... then we will all know he is not sympathetic to the herdsmen, and we will apologize for our thinking. 2 Likes |

Trash. Why is Buhari so backward in governance? He'll never come on TV to speak. He'd rather tell his spokesmen to concort any nice defense for him. Whenever I think how very much in-the-know Trump is about everything that happens in the US, I'm tempted to say we don't have a president here. 2 Likes |

What has he done to deter his kinsmen herdsmen from killing. What pronouncement has he made against a group that sheds the blood of Nigerians everyday. His statement alone shows how aloof and unapologetic he is towards the situation. Take a look "President Buhari holds the view, as do many experts, that these conflicts are more often than not, as a result of major demographic changes in Nigeria. When Nigeria attained independence, the population of the country was estimated at about 63,000,000." Even Buhari's 2018 speech held no water against the rampage of the herdsmen. F******* Pretender because 2019 is around the corner. 2 Likes |

Ever since the orchestration of this genocide by Buhari's tribesmen, no one has been arrested. Is this not a clear indication that Buhari is in full support of this menace? Why turn a blind eye to this evil? Human life that is sacred is being wasted daily by these bunch of marauders. The earlier he stops playing hide and seek with sensitive issues, the better for this country. 3 Likes |

delugajackson: I'm also puzzled by how not a single one of the perpetrators has been killed or caught in the course of action. At least by now one of them should have been injured and presenter by at the very least local vigilante. We've seen the victims and as sad as it is, we never get any video narration from the victims. This matter requires serious x-raying and not the usual dem say. |

I agree with the spokesman . Buhari is not condoning killings,he is aiding it. Who killed thousands of Shiites ? Who killed unarmed IPOB members? Who arms the Fulani terrorists? Why have the not been declared terrorists by the FG government? Actions speak louder than words. THE LAND OF THE RISING SUN MUST SET FORTH AT DAWN |

frankyychiji: Who is this one again? Is Doyin Okupe an expert on Fulani Herdsmen issues? I'm talking about getting raw evidence you are talking about Okupe. Some of you talk without reasoning. Over the years we've been told the carnage has been cause by a certain group of people even in Ozubulu and I say let us have some evidence . Let us get some victims narrate their ordeal on video. Let communities try no later what to apprehend these people. But for me to reach a conclusion just because Doyin Okupe says so is to vacate my investigative instincts and education. |
