State of Emergency Needed in Two States, ADC Tells Tinubu

Imo State: The state has been battling increased insurgency from armed groups, with a growing wave of violent clashes between security forces and non-state actors, creating an environment of instability.

Benue State: The ADC highlighted the rural-urban violence, particularly between farmers and herders, and the lack of control over banditry, which has left residents vulnerable.

The ADC believes that a state of emergency is the only way to restore order and security, calling for direct federal intervention to stabilize the regions and bring an end to the suffering of civilians.

The ADC’s demand for a state of emergency in Imo and Benue underscores the critical security challenges facing these states. It remains to be seen how President Tinubu will respond to the party’s call, which could set the tone for his administration’s approach to internal conflicts
