He said: “I have decided to withdraw from every political activities until this problem is over. I cannot be a leader over dead people. 2019 is in God’s hand. This time, there is need for synergy, cooperation and unity among every Benue people across party lines.” He added that he has reached out to the former governor of the state, Gabriel Suswam and former senate president, David Mark to invite them for an emergency stakeholder meeting.
“Yesterday for the first time in months, I called the former governor, Gabriel Suswam and former Senate President, David Mark to inform them about the stakeholders meeting today but was told the former governor traveled out of the country. This issue is beyond party politics.” The governor also claimed that the herdsmen are not invading the state to graze but rather to take over the land. He said: “These people are not coming for grazing but for occupation. It is not about grazing of cattle but about taking over the land."
