The presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, has criticised President Bola Tinubu for not visiting Benue state amid the incessant killings.
In a post on X this morning, Obi claimed it showed Tinubu does not value human lives.
He pointed to incidents in India and South Africa, as examples of what good leaders do when tragedies happen.
There has been widespread outrage over Tinubu’s response to over 200 people being massacred by herders in Benue state.
The president’s statement came almost 24 hours after the incident, with Pope Leo even sending his condolences much earlier.
He added no presidential visit. No physical presence at the scenes of pain. No genuine national mourning. No leadership to comfort the grieving or give hope to the people.
