“I have seen an orphan, a NELFUND beneficiary in Niger State. She said when her first feeding alert of N25,000 came, she cried, and out of the N25,000, she sent N10,000 to her mother for monthly feeding.”
— Alwan Hassan, APC PCC Spokesperson.
I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that Hamas filmed themselves murdering, looting, and kidnapping women, children, men and elderly people over the age of 80 from their homes, while openly celebrating the violence online, and yet so much of the world was somehow shocked when Israel fought back.
Standing with the Victims of Insecurity in Benue
Yesterday, I travelled to Otukpo-Nobi in Benue State, one of the communities recently attacked by non-state actors, where over 10 persons were either killed or went missing. In contrast, several others were injured and are currently hospitalised.
Alongside Otukpo-Nobi was another community, Efeyi-Ugboju, where over 13 persons were reportedly killed and several others injured. While we were there, we were also informed that earlier in the morning, 14 persons had been kidnapped along Ankpechi Road.
I joined the community in praying for the repose of the souls of the departed at the site of the mass burial of the victims. We also visited the hospital to empathise with the injured, show our support, and pray for their quick recovery.
Having visited, seen, and spoken with those affected, I urge the Federal Government to demonstrate a greater commitment to securing the lives and property of citizens and to closing the ungoverned spaces that have become breeding grounds for insecurity.
The primary purpose of government is the security and welfare of its citizens. When government fails in this responsibility, as it has with the people of Otukpo-Nobi, Efeyi-Ugboju, and other troubled communities, it must be reminded of that sacred obligation.
May the souls of the departed continue to rest in perfect peace. Amen. -PO

I don’t know who needs to hear this, because the media are completely silent about this, but innocent Christians in Nigeria are still being murdered by Islamists every single day, and the world remains silent.
Speak up. Be their voice. They need you.
