In a shocking turn of events, Luka Binniyat, a fearless journalist and former prisoner of conscience under former Governor Nasiru El Rufai’s administration, has been appointed as the National Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the Middle Belt Forum (MBF). Binniyat’s unwavering commitment to speaking truth to power has earned him recognition and respect, despite being jailed twice for defending the rights of his people.
As the new National PRO of the MBF, Binniyat will use his powerful voice to amplify the struggles and aspirations of the Middle Belt people. His appointment, along with that of Barrister Aba Ejembi as the new National Secretary General, is set to inject new energy into the Forum’s advocacy efforts.
Binniyat’s journey to becoming the MBF’s National PRO has been marked by courage and resilience. His determination to speak truth to power, even in the face of persecution, has inspired countless individuals and groups across the Middle Belt region. As a journalist, Binniyat has consistently highlighted the plight of the Middle Belt people, exposing the injustices and inequalities they face.
Dr. Pogu Bitrus, President of the MBF, has urged the Middle Belt family and the general public to rally behind the new officials as they work tirelessly to promote the interests of the Middle Belt people and address the challenges facing the region. “We are confident that Luka Binniyat’s experience and expertise will be invaluable in amplifying our voices and promoting our interests,” Dr. Bitrus said.
The Middle Belt Forum is the umbrella body of the people of the Middle Belt in central Nigeria. The Forum plays a critical role in promoting the interests of the Middle Belt people and advocating for their rights. With the new appointments, the MBF is poised to continue its advocacy work with renewed vigor and determination.
The appointment of Binniyat as the National PRO of the MBF is seen as a significant boost to the Forum’s efforts to promote the interests of the Middle Belt people. His experience as a journalist and advocate will be invaluable in amplifying the voices of the Middle Belt people and promoting their interests. As the MBF continues to advocate for the rights and interests of the Middle Belt people, Binniyat’s powerful voice will be a significant asset in the struggle for justice and equality.
