Kidd Waya Breaks Silence as Benue Burns: Calls on President to Act Fast Before More Lives Are Lost

In the wake of the escalating violence and unrest in Benue State, popular philanthropist and public figure Kidd Waya has spoken out passionately against the killings and displacement affecting his people.

His message, though heartbreaking, has struck a chord across the country—“Benue is bleeding, and the world must not stay silent”.

Kidd Waya, known for his efforts in uplifting young talents and promoting his home state through various initiatives under his foundation, has made it clear that he can no longer turn a blind eye to the suffering in his homeland. While his focus has largely been on showing the brighter side of Benue, the urgency of the moment has compelled him to call out the harsh realities that too many have ignored.

“Enough is enough. My goal lately has been to put Benue on the map in a positive way by promoting talented individuals and initiatives. However, I cannot keep quiet on this anymore.”

His heartfelt appeal did not stop there. Kidd Waya also called for calm among residents, expressing faith in the current administration of the state governor.

“This isn’t just a state problem, it’s a national issue,” he said, urging the President to extend immediate federal support and intervention.

As homes burn and communities are torn apart, Kidd’s voice joins the growing chorus of Nigerians demanding urgent action. His words are a reminder that in times of crisis, silence is not neutrality—it is complicity.

“We are ONE FAMILY. ONE NIGERIA. ONE LOVE.”

Now more than ever, it is time for leaders at every level to rise to the occasion. The people of Benue are not just calling for help—they are demanding justice, security, and a future free from fear.

Let this not be just another headline. Let it be the turning point.
