Unleashing the Fury: Senator Abba Moro's Tirade Against Benue's Woes
Benue Senator, Abba Moro, Laments Increased Insecurity, Holds Security Forces and Federal Government Accountable
Senator Abba Moro, the voice of Benue South Senatorial District, has lashed out against the skyrocketing violence in his home state, blasting the security forces for their incompetence and extortionist tendencies.
Our source reveals that on a heated episode of "Democracy Today," a popular show on African Independent Television (AIT), Moro wasted no words in calling out the security agents for their blatant neglect and shameless extortion while the state burns.
Moro, filled with frustration, criticized the security forces for their inability to protect the citizens against the spiraling wave of violence. He lamented that the unrest has turned into a morbid tradition, where mourning the loss of loved ones due to the region's insecurity has become all too frequent.
Diving deep into his anger, he asserted, "There's no Benue resident with an ounce of conscience who doesn't feel the gut-wrenching pain of the resurgence of killings across the state. We are beyond tired of burying our fellow citizens. These killings must cease."
The lawmaker pointed out that, despite the Governor of Benue State finally breaking his silence, mere condemnations are no longer sufficient. He implored him to take decisive action to end the bloodshed.
In a jab at President Bola Tinubu, Moro accused the government of ignoring the Senate's recommendations to combat the escalating insecurity across the nation. He lamented that the federal government had failed to take decisive action, allowing the situation to spiral out of control.
Keeping the conversation burning, Moro also questioned the federal government's dedication to the welfare of its citizens. When it comes to taking concrete steps to safeguard the people, he argued, the government has proven to be toothless and ineffective.
