For Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue state,
President Muhammadu Buhari remains the
solution to the many challenges facing
Nigeria currently.
Vanguard reports that Otorm made the remark
in Abuja calling Buhari the medicine Nigeria
needs to combat corruption and its many
other consequences.
According to the governor, it is only Buhari
that has shown a level of courage to fight
corruption that has overtaken the country.
“Buhari remains the medicine for Nigeria.
Despite his age, he is willing to add value,
instil discipline and wipe away corruption in
Nigeria.
“Before him, nobody was bold enough to
confront corruption. It is good for Nigerians to
pray for him. For us in Benue we have
declared three days fast for Buhari for his
quick recovery so that he can come back to
work for us.
“We have no business with poverty in Nigeria
but indiscipline and corruption have combined
to keep us down. We need Buhari to take us
to the promised land,” Ortom reportedly said.
The governor further explained the recent
action he took over the issues of herdsmen
that have ravaged his state.
“We in Benue State have a job to do and we
will certainly do it. The anti-grazing bill does
not say herdsmen should use gun and kill
people.
“We are not sending any herdsmen away from
Benue but they must ranch their cattle under
the law.
“The ranching bill is meant to protect both the
farmer and the herdsman. I challenge anyone
against the bill to give me a better alternative
to the current challenge we have on our
hands.
“I like superior arguments and if there is any
on the matter, I would quickly adjust,” he
said.
Earlier, Governor Samuel Ortom had painted a
very gloomy situation about the level of
insecurity in the state revealing that 12 of its
23 local government areas are still being held
captive by Fulani herdsmen.
On Friday, May 5, 2017 concerning the
perpetration of crime by herdsmen in the
state, made the revelation when he received
the president of the Christian Association of
Nigeria (CAN), Reverend Samson Ayokunle.
