US EditionNigeria: No Evidence Nigerian President Bola Tinubu Is 'Flooding' His Country With Chadian Herders to Rig 2027 Elections
- President Bola Tinubu visited Benue State on Wednesday following a recent attack that killed over 200 residents in Yelwata community, Guma LGA.
- The visit occurred amid longstanding violence described by Tor Tiv James Ayatse as a calculated genocidal land grab by armed herders and terror gangs, not a herder-farmer dispute.
- Ayatse appealed for peace and urged the president to recognize the crisis's true nature while noting that farmlands have been abandoned and Benue's economy has suffered due to insecurity.

- The region is calling for clear government policies, strong military intervention, and efforts to rebuild the economy to prevent further alienation and restore stability, while Tinubu's handling of the situation remains under close observation.
