I will modify my schedule to meet with the people of Benue on Wednesday — Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu of Nigeria has announced his intention to visit Benue State on Wednesday, June 18, 2025, to offer his condolences to the people affected by the recent spate of violent attacks.

Benue has faced significant challenges with ongoing conflicts between local farmers and nomadic cattle herders, resulting in the loss of many lives and the displacement of thousands. The decision to visit the state follows criticisms from opposition leaders, such as Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, who accused the president of neglecting the affected communities.
Tinubu's visit aims to show solidarity and empathy with the Benue people and encourage unity among them as they deal with their grief and the aftermath of the violence.
