The 2023 presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Adewole Adebayo, has accused President Bola Tinubu of being responsible for last Friday’s attack on Benue communities that killed no fewer than 200 people.
Speaking during an appearance on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily, Adebayo insisted that those who were killed died because of the President.
According to him, if those who were working for the president had done their duty effectively, the massacre would not have occurred.
“The basic thing is that if you realise 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.
