It’s alarming to hear some whitewash OBJ as a saint, claiming such atrocities wouldn’t have happened under his watch. Let’s revisit 2001: his military order sparked the Benue massacre, killing over 200 innocents amid a clash between the Tiv, Jukun, and Idoma tribes. OBJ’s bias leaned toward the Jukun, likely influenced by his Defence Minister Theophilus Danjuma, a Jukun from Taraba, whose tribal ties skewed the response. This Benue killing has lingered too long, demanding a leader who brings all tribes to the table to settle things,especially since some tribes even hired herdsmen to fight on their behalf. Memory lane exposes this grim truth, and glorifying OBJ erases it.
