What the Governor therefore deserves is commendation and not condemnation. If Garba Shehu claims that the President is disappointed in the Benue State Governor for speaking against the sustained attacks on his people, we wonder how he feels about the killings in North East, North West, South East, South West, and other parts of the North Central.Are those killings occurring as a result of the comments of Governors of the affected states?&#8221;<\/div>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"adL\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Failure\u00a0 the President&#8217;s spokesman,\u00a0 Garba Shehu, to reproach the armed herdsmen militia responsible for the killings in Benue state smacks of complicity and tacit support for the killer herders.
