The National Security Advisor (NSA) Nuhu Ribadu, has blamed the insecurity problem in the country on the past administration, stating that President Bola Tinubu and his administration inherited a very poor government, especially one that was insecure.
During his visit to Benue State on Tuesday, Ribadu expressed his condolences to the government and people for the murder of more than 72 people by terrorists posing as herdsmen.
The NSA called on the Benue people to cease politicizing the killings and give the Tinubu government an opportunity, even though they denounced the killings.
In his words, “Our Armed Forces are doing well. It is impossible to post soldiers or police to every hamlet. Give us a chance and stop politicizing the killings. This will help us to restore peace. Issue of security is relative,”
“We inherited an extremely bad government and things have improved and we will address all these issues cropping up.
“It is a matter of time, to do the harm is easy but to solve it is difficult. We have reduced considerably the number of violence we met. This one too, we will confront it,” Ribadu added.
Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia, the governor of Benue State, said that it was a sobering time for the state, which has been under severe siege since 2011 and has lost unfathomable numbers of people.
According to reports, these insecurity threats attacks and killings have increased throughout the past two weeks in Plateau and Benue States.
Fresh attacks were launched in the early hours of Tuesday, only one week after suspected armed herders slaughtered more than fifty farmers in various sections of Benue State.
