The Governor of Benue State, Gabriel Suswam has cried out that members of the Boko Haram sect are planning to attack him.

"Going by security reports available to me, I may be attacked any day, anywhere, anytime and this is the reason I called on you Christians to pray for me and my family". The Governor, who is a Christian, made this revelation today while addressing members of NKST Church, in Makurdi, the state capital.

He decried a situation in which only four Christians from the north were elected governor of their states.

He said with the demise of Patrick Yakowa in a helicopter crash and the current situation of Governor Danbaba Suntai of Taraba State, only two Christians Governors are now left standing from the north, out of 19 states in the region.
