The Northern Elders Forum (NEF) don come outside with their serious mind as dem sharply condemn the kasala wey dey happen for Benue State. Dem talk say dis matter don reach level wey dem fit call am ‘genocide’ because of government gree-gree wey dey cause am. Na wah oh! (E be like say we don enter serious gbege).
For statement wey Professor Abubakar Jika Jiddere, di NEF spokesperson, drop, e dey clear say di killings wey dey happen for Benue no be small mata. Dem dey suffer wahala as dem turn di once sweet and productive state into one big killing field (who wan chop like dat?). Dem dey shout say di government dey act like dem no sabi wetin dey happen, and na im dey cause di serious bloodshed.
Dem talk say just recently, over 150 people yan goodbye for Yelwata community, while another 200 life sef waka go Guma and Logo local government. Na so thousands of people don pack enter IDP camps wey dey very squalid and unsafe, wey dem no fit even see doctor or chop better food (dem dey really suffer, chai!).
Di NEF don vex well-well as dem notice say di government dey look away while di innocent citizens dey die giddigbana. Na so dem come quickly shout say dis matter no be ethnic wahala wey dem dey try to make am look. E be like say na internal political wahala wey dis one dey, and e dey very vexing (how we go fit sit down dey watch dis no fit happen?).
No be only dat, dem talk say di government dey fail to protect di people wey vote dem into power. E don turn serious betrayal of trust, as di once sweet state dey drop for lawlessness and despair (na who send dem?).
NEF don dey call for urgent action, as dem don list out some solid demands: make security forces wey sabi di koko go Benue State to stop di killings without wasting time; make dem investigate di political and economic interests wey dey push di violence; and make dem prosecute all di bad guys wey dey involved (no be play oh!).
Dem even talk say dem need to care for di victims and families wey suffer loss; make government respect dem and show dem say dem dey important. E be like say dis na di way we go fit stop dis wahala wey dey scatter families and communities for di northern side of Nigeria (ah, I just dey feel bad for dem).
For di NEF, dem don declare say dem dey for di people of Benue and all di communities wey dey suffer like dem. Dem talk say if di government continue to carry di matter for head like say na joke, dem go turn enemy of di people wey dem suppose protect (this na serious matter, abeg!).
