Social media activist, VeryDarkMan, has challenged Benue youths to use the same energy they used in blocking Peter Obi from entering their state to confront bandits and terrorists.
VeryDarkMan gave the challenge in a video posted on X on Friday, stating that Benue youths are misdirecting their energy.
He pointed at the longstanding pattern of political neglect where leaders exploit the state for influence but fail to protect citizens from recurring herdsmen attack.
“At least now we know that Benue State youths can mobilize themselves and chase someone out or chase people out.
“So it’s very good that they can come out in numbers to chase people out, so that tomorrow when bandits or terrorists attack, they can use the same energy to chase them.
“I was really disappointed in Benue State youths. Not all of them but the crowd came out to prevent Peter Obi from entering the state.
“Now, Benue State youths, after what they’ve gone through, they will still let themselves be used as political tools and instruments. It’s so sad,” he said.
