Manage Your Anger And Frustration, Tinubu Tells Benue Residents
President Bola Tinubu has urged the people of Benue State to maintain peace and manage their anger and frustration amid ongoing security challenges in the region.
Speaking during the commissioning of the Greater Abuja Water Supply Network on Monday in Abuja, the president sympathised with the victims of violence in Benue and appealed for calm and unity among residents.
“While I sympathise with the Benue people, I have spoken to the Governor, the leadership and people of Benue, to accept our condolences and try hard, very, very consciously, to maintain peace and harmony among themselves,” Tinubu said.
Tinubu described Nigeria as a “one single huge family living in the same house, staying in different rooms.”
“We should be able to manage our anger and frustration,” he added.
Tinubu observed a minute’s silence for the victims and announced plans to visit Benue on Wednesday to personally condole with the people.
“I sympathise with those who have lost their lives. I will adjust my prograem and go see the Benue people on Wednesday,” he stated.
Earlier in his remarks, the president lauded the successful completion of the Greater Abuja Water Supply Project, describing it as a transformative initiative that shows his administration’s commitment to providing essential infrastructure and improving the quality of life for Nigerians.
He praised the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, and his team for their dedication, noting that the project is both a technical and moral milestone in addressing water access and equity in the capital city.
“This water infrastructure is not only a technical milestone but a moral one because it is about equity. It is about ensuring that no part of Abuja is left behind in our national development agenda,” he said.
Tinubu further noted ongoing efforts in power, roads, and housing as part of his administration’s goal to deliver dignity and prosperity through infrastructure.
The project was delivered in collaboration with Chinese partners, whom the president commended for their role in fostering development through mutual respect and shared prosperity.
