The 2027 governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Benue State, Chief Michael Aondoakaa, SAN, has called for a non-partisan approach to tackling insecurity, saying the protection of lives and property must rise above political considerations.
Aondoakaa made the call during a condolence visit to Abaashwa community in Mbaasar, Nzorov Council Ward of Guma Local Government Area, LGA, where suspected armed herders recently attacked residents, killing several people and injuring others.
The former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice condemned the attack as “deeply painful and unacceptable,” while sympathising with the bereaved families and wishing those injured speedy recovery.
He said Benue residents had the right to live peacefully in their ancestral communities, cultivate their farms and pursue their livelihoods without fear of attacks, displacement or death.
