Ortom Betrays Benue People Again In Shocking Interview About Herdsmen's Killing

The Benue state governor in his recent interview gave a double standard reply regarding the Fulani herdsmen massacre in the state. The governor who has maintained that president Buhari was not doing enough gave rather a shocking response in his recent interview when asked a certain questions. He told the interviewer that there were no attacks for now in the state even though people are been killed in  on daily bases.  

The governor however, stated that efforts are been made so displaced  persons can return to their various places.

Read below some excerpt from the interview as shared by a Facebook user, Nat Apir..

The governor was asked; 

 There is a feeling in Benue that President Muhammadu Buhari has let your people down. How has this affected your relationship with him?

Governor Ortom replied: 

No, you see, there are different people with different styles of management. He can explain why he delayed in going to Benue for instance. But the truth of the matter and to be fair to Mr. President, when this incident took place and I called him, he quickly said ‘where is the Inspector General of Police?’ and immediately directed him to relocate to Benue State. So, issues of whether obeying or not are things on the table that we are discussing. But the truth is that he acted. And when later I requested that I needed additional soldiers, he directed and they came. But there are issues of whether he delayed. I think that is his style. It’s not that he visited other states and neglected us. When he started, he went round. So, people have different styles of administering the people and I think that is his own style. All the same, it was good that he came to us in Benue State. It is said that ‘better late than never.’ He came. But most importantly, if those issues that we raised are addressed, our people go back to their communities and there are no more attacks and people are law abiding and are obeying the ranching law and all that, you know, there will be peace. We will take it like that.
