Benue killings: If you had done your duty this would not have happened – Adebayo tells Tinubu
The 2023 presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Adewole Adebayo, has called on President Bola Tinubu to take responsibility for last Friday’s deadly attacks on communities in Benue State, where over 200 people lost their lives.
Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily, Adebayo asserted that the tragic loss of lives occurred due to failures within the President’s administration. He maintained that if those appointed by the President had carried out their duties properly, the attacks could have been prevented.
“The basic thing is that if you realize that those people died because of you, because you are the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, you are the one running the police, running the Armed Forces. If you had done your duty, the people working for you, in uniform and out of uniform, had done their duty – that thing would not have happened.
“So first thing you do is to take responsibility, and then you let your protocol people know that I’m going to this event. I’m going only with people who are relevant to security and the local people there, okay, and as we are going make sure that you have given me sufficient briefing about the families who lost their relatives,” he said.
