Music legend Innocent Idibia, widely known as 2Baba, has described the ongoing violence in parts of Benue State as a national emergency.
In a video posted on his Instagram page, he expressed deep sorrow and frustration over the recurring attacks, criticizing the authorities for failing to provide lasting solutions.
He called on stakeholders in Benue to put aside political and personal differences and come together to address the crisis.
The persistent violence, he stressed, requires immediate, collective action beyond words, and he remains hopeful that a solution can be found through joint efforts.
He said, “My heart is heavy. I am terribly sad and angry. What is happening in Benue State has become a national emergency. I can’t wrap my head around it anymore. I don’t even know what to say at this point. This has to stop.
“My sadness, my anger, my frustration, it’s overwhelming that this keeps happening over and over again. This is no longer something we can just condemn in words. Serious action needs to be taken.
“Every stakeholder in Benue must join hands. We can end this. I believe there is a solution.”
