President Buhari has cancelled his trip to Abia state and is currently in a meeting with Benue state governor, Samuel Ortom, over the repeated attacks on farmers in the state by herdsmen.

On New Year day and last Saturday January 6th, herdsmen attacked farmers in two communities in the state killing 59 of them including a pregnant woman. The victims will be given a mass burial on Thursday, January 11th.

President Buhari was earlier scheduled to be in Abia state for an APC mega Rally where himself, the Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and other party chieftains will receive members of the party that defected from other party to theirs.

Good.

This is what a sensible Commander in chief does. You do not put party, or political importance before something as sensitive as loss of lives in Benue.

He did the right thing.

Who remember when a great tragedy befell this Country,and Instead of Goodluck Jonathan to address it,he instead went to a PDP campaign in Kano.

God bless you Buhari.

Better for him. How can your house be on fire and you're busy chasing rats.

If he likes he can visit sambisa forest... Come 2019 nothing 'll help him...

I said he wont attend due to the attacks.

His handlers are silly but not that silly

Why?

He stopped by Benue so he can help slaughter more civilians with his Fulani brothers. The spirit of Nnamdi Kanu will haunt that man if he steps into Abia state.

Chai! Meeting at late hour. Medicine after death.

No vocal voice frm d sai baba against d killings.

No deployment of d military but will quickly do so against ipob or any peaceful protest yet d likes of sarrki, madridguy, omenkalives will hail him for his double standard.

I no gree oo.
You must say something.
mkpuru amu agbakpurugo BUHARI na afo!

they will now say it's because of numerous killing by his brothers and he doesn't want to repeat what GEJ did.

He has never cared about the killings before, suddenly he is worried.

I am not surprised. Baba dey fear

he can't get any support at Abia, hence the cancellation was mandatory ...

Lol

Responsible President
Security of lives and property should take precedence over campaign.
Not like.....

Mtschewwwww! Good riddance

I hope that the meeting with ortom is successful in developing good security strategies

Very good. If he step there, the blood of those people he killed in Abia will fight him

Bloggers dishing out conflicting reports

Very good. Propagandists were waiting to pounce on Buhari for showing up in Abia while herdsmen killed. Now he just shut them up..
