The Nigerian Bar
Association, NBA, has slammed President Muhammadu Buhari for handling the
incessant slaughtering of of people of Benue State by Fulani herdsmen with
kid’s gloves.
Addressing newsmen in
Markudi, the Benue State capital, the Chairman of Makurdi branch of the NBA,
Emmanuel Agbakor, said the NBA was disillusioned by the President’s show of
apathy in the issue.
He said, “The NBA is
totally disappointed, disenchanted and absolutely disillusioned at the display
of apathy by the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, with respect to
the wanton, reckless and unwarranted killings.
“We condemn, in strong
terms, the recurring invasion of the state by herdsmen and the concomitant
nonchalant cum indifferent posture of the Federal Government concerning the
problem.
“We overwhelmingly voted
the President into power as Nigeria’s President but he has dramatically become
ethnic and does not see anything wrong with what his kinsmen, the Fulani, are
doing in different parts of the country, including Benue State. This is totally
unacceptable. A government which is incapable of defending her people is
simply, to say the least, not worth its salt.’’
