Benue-born entertainer Basil Rich has stirred conversations online after addressing trending political slogans circulating across social media platforms.
In a recent live video session, the singer openly expressed his frustration over repeated posts carrying phrases such as “No Alia, No Benue” and “The Alia, The Better.” According to Basil Rich, the constant political chanting online has become overwhelming, especially considering the current situation in parts of the state.
The artist urged Benue youths to reduce political tensions on social media, stating that even those who support Governor Alia should keep their support personal rather than turning every online space into a political battleground.
“If you are supporting the governor, support him quietly. Stop disturbing social media with it,” he said during the live broadcast.
Basil Rich’s comments come in the wake of reported attacks and killings in Kwande and other parts of Benue State, incidents that have left many residents worried and grieving. The singer questioned the timing of celebratory political posts while communities are facing security challenges.
While he did not attack any individual directly, his message appeared to reflect concern about priorities and sensitivity during difficult times. He emphasized the need for unity, compassion, and focus on the safety and well-being of citizens rather than political praise or arguments online.
The live video has since generated mixed reactions. Some social media users applauded Basil Rich for speaking up and calling for empathy during a tense period. Others argued that people have the right to express political support freely.
As discussions continue online, one thing is clear — emotions are high, and many Benue citizens are deeply concerned about the state’s security situation.
Basil Rich has not released any further statements following the live session, but the video continues to circulate widely across social platforms.
