Ayo Fayose, governor of Ekiti state, has landed in Benue state to commiserate with the people over the clashes between farmers and herdsmen.
Over 80 persons have been killed in the state this year alone.
Samuel Ortom, governor of Benue, was on ground to receive Fayose, who is chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors’ Forum.
Fayose’s visit comes 24 hours after that of Nyesom Wike, governor of Rivers state, also a member of PDP.
Wike had offered prayers at the grave site of the 73 persons killed in January.
He also donated N200 million to persons affected by the crisis.
