Nigeria: Herdsmen killings: Buhari ignored my invitation to Benue – Ortom

Angel

Governor of Benue state, Samuel Ortom has revealed that he extended an invitation to President Buhari to come to Benue and console with victims of Fulani herdsmen attacks, but it wasn’t honored.
Speaking on a television programme last weekend, Ortom said that as president, it was Buhari’s duty to provide citizens of the country with security but failed to take action to curb the killings. In his words;


“We invited the president when we visited him in Abuja; that he should come to Benue state and extend his condolences to his people. Because we are members of the party, he is our president. If these people are attacking us, we expect him to give us security.

He has done a number of things. He directed NEMA to provide relief materials, he also asked for security to be beefed up but I am not satisfied with what the presidency is doing on this matter. There is no doubt about that.

I ask for justice for Benue people because we have not been treated fairly… These herdsmen militia even killed policemen. The herdsmen have gone beyond grazing. It’s about taking over our lands. For now, my primary concern is to stop these killings; to ensure that the Internally Displaced Persons go back to their homes and live peacefully. Once that is done, we can talk about other things.
I don’t care about what happens tomorrow. Even if I am not governor, I can stay back and fight for the right of my people.

  n the aftermath of George Floyd’s murder, the phrase “Black Lives Matter” commenced to show up everywhere: on front lawns and back bumpers, on NBA players’ warm-up shirts in the course of pregame shoot-arounds, on gamers’ title displays when they fired up “FIFA 20,” on the tongues of longtime activists, college coaches, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah). On the chests of Black people declaring their humanity and White people professing their allyship. After former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was convicted of Floyd’s murder, Lisa Granade, a 40-year-old White woman, finally got around to placing up a signal on her property, in an overwhelmingly White Seattle neighborhood. Granade selected a black flag with a rainbow-colored fist clenched in solidarity, hanging it on a street-facing fence alongside banners assisting LGBTQ rights and opposing gun violence. And that’s how she ended up standing in the front of her residence getting yelled at and called a “racist” through another W...

After industry organizations called for remaining limits and tests to be lifted, ministers are finalizing revisions to the trip Covid testing requirements. According to Star TV, the government may eliminate the requirement for people to take a test two days before coming in the UK. Airlines have claimed that passenger testing is having little real impact, despite data released last week indicating that one in every 25 individuals in England has the virus. Compulsory testing, they claim, has slowed the sector's recovery. It comes as the prime minister prepares to meet with his cabinet to persuade them to support his decision not to impose any more Covid limits in the UK. According to Star Tv, the government is considering removing the recommendation that persons who test positive on a lateral flow device should seek a confirmatory PCR test. Boris Johnson said on Tuesday that he thought the UK could "ride out" the current storm, albeit he admitted that the NHS might be temp...

Ministers May Ignore The JCVI And Push For Covid Vaccinations For All 12- To 15-Year-Olds

Ministers could ignore their official vaccine consultants for the first time and push for Covid vaccinations for all 12- to 15-year-olds, after a scientific body ruled that the net health benefit of vaccination was too tiny. Ministers will seek additional data that could help them overturn the watchdog's decision, highlighting a deepening divergence between the government and scientific experts over the next phase of the vaccine campaign. After days of speculation, the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) released a statement on Friday saying that while the health benefits of vaccinating the entire age group outweighed the risks, "the margin of benefit is considered too small to support universal vaccination of healthy 12- to 15-year-olds," At this time, the evidence is insufficient to justify universal immunization of healthy 12- to 15-year-olds." On Friday, a line of young people formed in London to get vaccinated. Instead, the group advised expan...
