☰ Bakare: Buhari did nothing about Benue genocide though he was warned 18 months earlier  January 14 Tunde Bakare, the serving overseer of the Latter Rain Assembly (LRA), says President Muhammadu Buhari and his government did nothing about the genocide in Benue even though they were warned 18 months earlier. Bakare also added that the government has failed in what seem to be its area of strength — security, and has permitted a genocide in some parts of the country. “Nothing indicts the current government greater than its failure in one key performance area that ought to be its strength: security,” Bakare said. “Despite recent setbacks, we acknowledge the gains in the war against Boko Haram, but highly disturbing is the mayhem being continually unleashed by herdsmen on communities in different states across the country, including Benue, Taraba, Plateau, Adamawa, Kaduna, Enugu, Edo and Ogun States, leaving trails of weeping and wailing. “The recent killings in Benue State are akin to the last straw that is set to break the camel’s back. Not only has the government failed to stop these killings across the country, it has done so against the backdrop of conspiratorial silence, choosing rather to label such attacks ‘an issue of communal misunderstanding’, as the Inspector General of Police recently did in respect of the Benue attacks; it has treated the menace with kid gloves even after the Global Terrorism Index 2015 described ‘militant’ herdsmen as ‘the fourth most deadly group of 2014’. “Worse still, some of these killings have reportedly been carried out in collusion with the military. BUHARI WAS WARNED 18 MONTHS EARLIER  Iyorwuese Hagher ‘warned Buhari 18 months earlier’ Bakare said the federal government has “become complicit for the following reasons: “By not advancing and vigorously executing policies aimed at pre-empting or preventing these killings even with sufficient warnings: I am reminded of the open letter to President Muhammadu Buhari by a former Nigerian High Commissioner to Canada and Second Republic senator, Prof. Iyorwuese Hagher. Permit me to quote excerpts from that letter: ‘Your Excellency Mr. President…I am pained that you ignored my advice in my private memorandum to you dated 30th July 2016. I had warned you of the possibility of a horrendous genocide in Benue, Plateau, Taraba, Southern Kaduna, and Southern Adamawa States. ‘I asked you to be proactive and stop the genocide that has been ongoing but which would burst out in the open and shock the world within 18 months. Your office replied my letter…thanking me ‘immensely’ and giving me the assurances that the advice would be heeded…I regret to now inform you that it is seventeen months since my warning and prediction and your government did nothing to pre-empt or prevent the genocide.'” UNEMPLOYED NIGERIANS HAVE INCREASE BY ALMOST 10MILLION “This administration anchored its policy outlook on three main thrusts, including security, job creation through diversification, and anti-corruption, yet all around us are signs of retrogression,” Bakare said. “As at June 2015, the unemployment rate was 8.2% of a labour force of 74 million, meaning that about 6 million Nigerians were unemployed. “By September 2017, despite such efforts as N-Power and a range of policies aimed at improving enterprise development and facilitating job creation, the unemployment rate had risen to 18.8% of a labour force of 85.1 million, indicating that between 2015 and 2017, the number of unemployed Nigerians rose from about 6 million to almost 16 million.” https://www.thecable.ng/bakare-buhari-nothing-benue-genocide-though-warned-18-months-earlier 19 Likes 3 Shares |

Buhari is not a statesman. He does not understand the context of oneness and unity which he is so quick to mouth when dealing with IPOB. His idea of oneness of nigeria is one in which "his" people are lords over the rest. A man with such views should never have been president, a mistake the youth (out of emotion) made. 105 Likes 7 Shares |

There is obviously a need for government to have been decisive when initial killings occured. That would have nipped it at the bud. 2 Likes |
