Jonathan Onoja, a security analyst, has raised concerns about the federal government's response to the insurgency crisis in Benue State. In a recent interview, Onoja expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of actionable directives from the president, citing the recent killings of innocent citizens.
*Lack of Actionable Directives*
Onoja noted that despite the chief of army staff relocating to Benue State, there was no visible impact on the ground. He questioned the long-term strategy, emphasizing that the presence of intelligence chiefs, police, and military operatives is not enough without tangible results.

*Past Promises*
The analyst referenced former President Buhari's directive to shoot herders with AK-47 rifles on sight, questioning its effectiveness. "How many were shot on sight?" he asked, highlighting the need for practical outcomes rather than just directives on paper.
*Call for Proactive Approach*
Onoja emphasized that families of victims are not concerned with presidential directives but with tangible results. He urged the government to be proactive rather than reactive, stressing that the current approach is inadequate.
*Time for Action*
The situation in Benue State demands a more effective and sustainable solution. The government must translate its words into meaningful action to bring relief to the affected communities and restore peace to the region.
