A recent video circulating on social media platforms, shared by the BENUE info-pedia Facebook page on January 9, 2026, features former Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Chief Michael Kaase Aondoakaa (SAN), delivering what has been described as a candid and unfiltered message labeled as “spilling the bitter truth.”
In the footage, the prominent Benue-born politician and legal luminary appears in traditional attire, standing in what seems to be a rural or community setting with visible structures and people in the background. The post from BENUE info-pedia, timestamped at 12:05 PM, highlights the video under the caption emphasizing Aondoakaa’s forthright commentary, accompanied by hashtags including #benue_info.
Chief Aondoakaa, who served as Nigeria’s chief law officer during the administration of late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua and briefly under President Goodluck Jonathan, has remained an influential figure in Benue State politics. He is currently positioning himself as a potential governorship aspirant for the 2027 elections, having been vocal on issues affecting his home state, particularly insecurity.
Recent statements from the former minister have drawn significant attention, including his controversial call for the United States to extend airstrikes to Benue State to combat what he described as terrorist elements involved in herder-farmer clashes and land occupation. This position has sparked widespread debate across media outlets and online platforms, with some commending his boldness in addressing the security crisis, while others criticize it as extreme.
The latest video, posted amid ongoing discussions about insecurity in Benue—where recent attacks have claimed numerous lives—appears to continue Aondoakaa’s pattern of direct and provocative commentary on pressing state and national issues. The phrase “spilling the bitter truth” suggests the content contains hard-hitting observations or criticisms that may challenge prevailing narratives or authorities.
As the clip gains traction, it has prompted reactions from followers, political observers, and residents of Benue State, who are analyzing its implications in the context of the state’s security challenges and the former minister’s political ambitions.
No official transcript of the full video has been released by the page at the time of this report, but its rapid spread underscores the continued influence of Chief Aondoakaa in public discourse. Further details on the specific “bitter truth” conveyed in the address are expected to emerge as more viewers share and discuss the content.
