Outspoken activist and co-convener of the Bring Back Our Girls campaign, Aisha Yesufu, has called on the Nigerian Senate to initiate impeachment proceedings against President Bola Tinubu, citing his continued silence over the persistent killings in Benue State.
Yesufu, known for her fearless stance on national issues, expressed outrage over President Tinubu’s lack of public sympathy or visit to Benue following the latest massacre in Yelewata, where suspected armed herdsmen stormed the community around 10:00 pm on Friday, unleashing violence that claimed numerous lives and left several others injured.
Naija News reports that the Benue State Police Command later confirmed the incident, stating that tactical units engaged the attackers in a gun duel during the early hours of Saturday.
Despite the scale of the attack, President Tinubu has yet to issue a statement or visit the affected region.
Yesufu, however, pointed out that the President quickly condoled with India over a recent plane crash that killed over 200 people.
She wrote in a post on 𝕏 (formerly Twitter), “Tinubu condoled with India and not with Benue
“Tinubu is sitting down there gloating over the deaths of Nigerians whose mandate he truncated to occupy the office of the C-in-C.”
She questioned why national discourse had focused on party politics while the President remained unaccountable for the worsening insecurity in Nigeria.
Yesufu added, “Instead of Tinubu’s impeachment to be the topic of discussion, who is supposed to own a political party is the main topic!”
The statement is a veiled criticism of ongoing political drama and defections, especially within the All Progressives Congress (APC), the ruling party in Benue State.
