This was a gruesome genocide that would have been avoided, if the security agencies had answered to the clarion calls of the state governor to stop the carnage. Yet, Buhari, his wife and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo did not deem it fit and proper to visit Nimbo to commiserate with those they swore oath of office to protect. Rather, they commanded an apparently dishevelled Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State and ferried him to Aso Rock to meet with Buhari for a smiling and back-slapping photo-ops. Just last week, the same merchants of death visited Benue and Taraba states with a New Year gift of rain of death. Rather than visit these states, President Buhari decided, like the emperor that he is, to summon the governor and elders of Benue State to Aso Rock for another photo-op.
