The Principal Special Assistant to the Governor of Benue State on National Programs, Civil Society, Voter Education, and Strategic Interventions, Solomon Semaka, has accused the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 elections, Mr Peter Obi, of attempting to use Benue State as a platform for political relevance.

In a statement issued on Monday, Semaka described Obi’s planned visit to internally displaced persons, IDP, camps in Benue as “political charity” alleging that the former Anambra State governor was disguising political maneuvers as humanitarian concern.

The governor’s aide further claimed that Obi had a history of “emotional blackmail and mind games” targeted at exploiting the plight of vulnerable Nigerians for personal political survival. According to him, the Labour Party flagbearer was trying to raise his profile ahead of possible political realignments by leveraging humanitarian visits to states like Benue.

He said, “Mr Peter Obi cannot ambush Benue State with charity. Even the United Nations does not operate this kind of charity model. What he planned to do was nothing short of a political maneuver disguised as humanitarian work, and the people of Benue are wiser now.”

Semaka’s comments come against the backdrop of Governor Hyacinth Alia’s earlier directive banning unauthorized visits to the state by high-profile individuals, citing security concerns.

The order, the governor said, was aimed at managing movements and preventing activities that could jeopardize the fragile security situation in the state.

Recall that Obi had recently lamented his inability to reach Governor Alia ahead of his planned visit to IDP camps in Benue, a development which the governor’s aide dismissed as “bad charity etiquette” and a deliberate attempt to force his way into the state without proper engagement.

Semaka reiterated the istration’s commitment to its partnership with President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda and noted that Governor Alia would not allow political distractions to derail ongoing governance efforts in the state.

“Benue State is currently in the hands of a bold, courageous, and fearless leader who will not succumb to cheap political antics,” the statement added.

“political charity”

Obi don cast, everybody has decoded his game plan. No wonder Twitter community labelled him " agbotikuyo".
His ers say he has been doing this for a long time, but here are some questions his ers have not been able to answer;

1. Can you show us any pictures of Obi doing philanthropy before becoming a Governor?

2. Can you show us any pictures of him doing philanthropy in the North before 2023 election?.

His philanthropy began when he became Governor, even at that, it wasn't his money, it was Anambra State's money. Then after leaving office, he was giving out money only to South East region, mostly Anambra. So, the narrative that he has been doing this in every part of the country since he was born is a big fat lie.

However, I won't say he should go and feed Anambra people, I think Soludo has been up to the task lately and has improved security situation the state. My own demand is for the Agulu fraud to set up camera and go to Enugu communities that have been attacked and displaced by herdsmen. Let his charity begin from home.

Our lists of awardees is getting long, Honourable Solomon Semaka has ed the list. We will give Mr Bwala - the Man of the year, Mr Reno Omokri - the Personality of the year and Mr Solomon Semaka - the breakout star 🌟 of the year.


After God, na Tinubu 💪 God bless Nigeria

Peter Obi can only go to Anambra and do small chops

The so called aide and his principal are a definition of a fool at 40 is a fool forever. If his principal was able to solve the perennial attacks in Benue, will Peter Obi waste his time visiting the state?

Babablu bulabu charlatans.

USA, UK donate to other countries but there are poor people in USA and UK too.


The witches even said they can't guarantee security of anyone in Benue state. That's to tell you that they can guarantee INSECURITY.

If Benue people like, make dem stay there and allow their governor to deceive them.

There are many people killed and displaced by IPOB/ESN in the South East, Peter Obi has not issued a statement condemning them and neither has he visited anyone about the killings.

Show us IDP camp in Anambra or hush.

Shettima babablu will handle insecurity but terrorists are doing promo up and down and your only concern is what Obi says or not while Tinubu is traveling around the world like a mannequin that is unaware of what's happening.

It is very convenient to cite US and UK when you are basically empty upstairs and wanting to defend the fraud. But you are ignorant of the fact that both the US and UK have food stamps/ welfare programs that caters to the needy in their country, they feed their own first before feeding others. Tell us how many people the Agulu fraud have fed or is feeding in the SE before jumping on a flight to go feed Benue people?

Daniel Bwala said that once they APC, their brains stop working. So you can't understand wise people.

Folly remains your forte.

The audacity of babablu to compare a private individual to a country. Obi is definitely big, hence the comparison.

Revrend Alia sabi bad politics because na church dem take start learn politics these days

pity obi has demonstrated many times that he’s an enemy of the country and always exploit any ills that take place in the country to promote his political desperation!even a rat can smell that! If I’m the governor and people like obi come near my state with his agulu hypocrisy, I will ask my agents to put him in a dungeon for atleast a month to learn one or two lessons how not to behave like a nuisance! Not everything is politics!

Make Anambra state full bellied before feeding others?

You have be devilish to make such a statement. This is the inherent wickedness among the of the coven.

Fire has finally caught Obi's tros. How can someone be always hyperactive whenever tragedy happens?. Next time when he hears the name Benue, he will pick race.



-Kiss the truth!

And your governor can't put Boko Haram and militant Herdsmen in a dungeon. No wonder!!

Una governors are obviously funding the terrorists.

Benue state is the most shallow state in Nigeria 🇳🇬...





I know this for a fact, I have stayed and loved with them. Infrastructurally they are trudging behind, politically they have some of the most clannish and laidback set of politicians, but when it comes to social welfare which they know little about, they will always come top, cultism, immoral lifestyle, some lazy set of youths and lots more

Omo! Obi is becoming a laughing stock.

Anambra state is one of the least poorest state in Nigeria unlike benue that is not only poor but unstable and insecure with killings almost on daily basis.

It's very obvious to know the enemies of Nigeria.

I will ask all the ijiots cheering the Benue Governor aide…

How many IDPs are in Anambra?

While they were blasting, fulani were killing people and burning houses in otobi yesterday. What has he done?

Even if it's political charity,is it illegal?
Is it not his own money?
If such charity no matter how you call it is given to those in IDP camps,will they reject it?
This aide just proved that it was their intention to stop Obi from visiting the IDP camps to offer assistance which is very unfortunate!

It seems IDPs have become some sort of national treasure to Benue indigenes.

Instead of looking for ways of resettling these people in their ancestral lands, this foolish governor and his aides are more interested in protecting their treasured IDP camps so no one can use them and shine.

Same thing that happened during the civil war is repeating itself all over.

Some people are deeply in love with their chains and their oppressors.

Never knew Stockholm syndrome could exist on so large a scale.

Tufiakwa pụtara God forbid.
