 An appreciation of the armed forces: weeklong actions across multiple theatres By Bayo Onanuga Some Nigerians and armchair analysts are often quick to criticise the Federal Government for perceived shortcomings in security, highlighting isolated incidents such as kidnappings, improvised explosive devices, suicide bombings, and attacks in parts of the country. Such perceptions, however, tend to downplay and discount the heroic exploits of members of the Nigerian armed forces, saddled with the responsibility of countering the evil machinations of God-forsaken non-state actors, who operate like guerrillas.  My position is reinforced by the security reports I receive daily from Zagazola Makama, a journalist who has emerged as a counter-insurgency expert in Nigeria. This past week alone, Zagazola inundated me with reports from multiple theatres, indicating that our troops are making significant gains in the asymmetrical war against insurgents, terrorists, ISWAP, Boko Haram, IPOB, ...

 STOP BLAMING THE GOVERNOR, SHOW YOUR WORK, GOV. ALIA'S MEDIA AIDE SLAMS ACHADO


8th December, 2025    


Terver Atu, Principal Special Assistant to the Governor of Benue State on Youth and Media Mobilization, has fired back at Hon. Asema Achado over recent comments claiming he and his stakeholders made a “mistake” by supporting Governor Fr. Hyacinth Iormem Alia.


Atu described Achado as a perennial aspirant in Gwer Local Government who has contested nearly every election without success, calling him an example of political failure. “The mere pronouncement of Governor Alia’s name unites the people, not politics, but grace and divine acceptance,” Atu said. “That same goodwill carried him to Abuja as a House of Representatives member for the first time.”


According to Atu, Achado’s remarks insult the collective efforts of the Benue masses who supported Governor Alia to end years of underdevelopment. He warned that in 2027, voters will no longer accept empty claims or attacks on the governor. “The people are not blind. Tell them what you have done with their mandate for three years instead of blaming the governor as if he owes you child support,” Atu said.


Atu also dismissed Achado’s approach of asking for forgiveness from the masses as outdated. He cited similar strategies by former governors Suswam and Ortom, noting that such tactics failed to sway voters. “Political relevance comes from service, humility, gratitude, and reverence for God’s anointed. Doing no project while attacking the governor will only remind the people of past mistakes,” Atu said.


He concluded by reaffirming the public’s support for Governor Alia: “It was the Benue masses who voted for Governor Alia, and he continues to make them proud. They will vote wisely again in 2027.”
