President Muhammadu Buhari will on Monday meet with a delegation
comprising political, traditional and opinion leaders from Benue State,
to comprehensively address the security challenges facing the state.
The presidency said the urgent meeting was due to the frequency and
scale of violence in the state and the reactions that have trailed the
incidents.
Presidential spokesperson, Garba Shehu, confirmed the expected parley
with Benue leaders, adding that the government welcomes any initiative
that would provide lasting solutions to the country’s security problems.
TVC News also gathered that the state governor, Samuel Ortom, is
expected to lead the delegation that will include federal and state
lawmakers, as well as traditional rulers.
The meeting is said to be “one of the ways Buhari is responding to
the recent violent attacks on communities in the state by Fulani
herdsmen.”
