In these difficult times marked by growing security concerns and senseless attacks on innocent communities, we beseech the Almighty God to arise in His power and bring lasting peace to our land. May He grant you the strength and divine wisdom to lead Benue State with courage, compassion, and justice.

We mourn with you, and we pray that God in His infinite mercy will comfort you, heal your wounds, and grant eternal rest to the departed souls.
“This Easter, let us hold firmly to the promise of resurrection — that after every storm comes calm, after every night comes dawn, and after every cross, there is a crown. He is Risen, and because He lives, Benue shall rise again. Wishing you a peaceful, reflective, and blessed Easter celebration”
