Your decisive action to neutralise the threats posed by armed herders reassures us that our safety and the return of our farmers to their lands are priorities for your administration,” he said.

Alia said that Benue people take solace in the leadership and compassion shown by Mr President, governors and other well-meaning Nigerians during this trying moment, assuring the people that he would continue to work together with all the critical stakeholders as his government works towards rebuilding and restoring peace in the state.
