There have been growing indications that some governors in the country are governing their people from outside of their states.

Some of them allegedly govern their states from the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja and other parts of the world.

According to a report by The Press, residents of these states, and several residents and stakeholders are complaining about the attitudes of these governors, noting that their absence from the states negates the principle of good governance

The report also revealed that most of these governors do not hand over to their deputies but prefer to make most of the decisions of the state from wherever they are, flouting the constitutional provision that stipulates that a governor has a statutory duty to sit and ensure lives and property are secured and protected. He is not expected to stay outside then state for more than two weeks because he is the Chief Security Officer of his state.

*THE TEXT OF A PRESS RELEASE ADDRESSED BY HON. PETER ACHIBO ON BEHALF OF THE IDPS FROM WUKARI LGA OF TARABA STATE ON THE CONTINUOUS WANTON DESTRUCTION OF LIVES AND FOOD CROPS IN WUKARI LGA AND THE URGENT NEED FOR SECURITY AGENTS TO FISH OUT AND ARREST THOSE BEHIND IT, FOR PROSECUTION* .

Gentlemen of the press!

The wanton destruction of lives and food crops in Taraba State, especially, in Wukari LGA of the state, as it affects us, the returning IDPs, in the state is becoming alarming and unbearable.

Members of the public may wish to recall that, following the Jukun-Tiv violent conflict that engulfed the state some years ago, a large population, predominantly, Tiv have fled to take refuge in neighboring States of Benue, Nasarawa, plateau, and the FCT Abuja to mention just a few.

Now that we, have started coming back to our farmland to grow food crops in preparation to return to normal life following a brief respite, the evil wave of the violent attacks is again springing up in terms of sudden attacks on our lives while in farms and primitive destruction of our food crops.

On Friday, 3/11/2023, over one thousand yams belonging to farmers were forcefully harvested and destroyed at Chiina, the plunderers also carted away a large number of yams to an unknown destination, though, the villagers reported that the criminals were heading towards Wukari. Similarly, on Thursday, 2/11/2023, this same group of plunderers invaded large hectares of maize farms at Tse-Ajaver with trucks, armed to the teeth, they harvested all the maize belonging to the IDPs and thereafter, cut down the unripe ones just to destroy the farm. One wonders the essence of this kind of be******ty -if you have looted the maize, why don't you leave the unripe ones so that the farmer too will get a little to feed himself and his family when it ripes?

Most worrisome, is the fact that these attacks are also aimed at eliminating the returnees, Just Wednesday, 25/10/2023 at Tse-Yuham, Mrs Demenenge Mercy
