North Central Insecurity Is Complicated – Suswam

Gabriel Suswam

Former Governor of Benue State, Senator Gabriel Suswam, has hailed Governor Hyacinth Alia’s handling of security challenges in the state. He recently had his say after visiting the All Progressives Congress (APC) State Secretariat in Makurdi alongside his supporters, and Nigerians have been reacting.

Describing the situation in the North Central region as complicated, Suswam noted that many actions taken by the administration remain unseen by the public.

He concluded by appreciating President Bola Tinubu for supporting the state government in tackling insecurity.

His words, “I and Governor Hyacinth Alia have long been friends, even before he thought of becoming governor. We have a relationship that transcends party politics.

When he won election, we were communicating and he felt that there was no need for me to be in opposition, and I also saw no need because we have been friends.

So I had to bring all the people who have been with me since I joined politics so that we can have stability of mind and attend to the issues that afflict Benue such as insecurity.

The insecurity that has bedevilled the North Central is a little bit intricate and complicated. The Governor has done a lot, I have seen it, I am part of it.

Some of the steps taken by the Governor are not known to the people. When you are working on insecurity, decisions are taken in secrecy so that they do not leak, but I know he is doing a lot.

The President too has given him a lot of support.

All of us have to take interest. We have bandits and terrorists who stay in villages and have families. Those families need to partake in addressing insecurity. If we solely depend on government, it may not work the way we want.”

WOW.
