Not too long after Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State took President Muhammadu Buhari to the cleaners over his government’s inability to tackle the security crisis in Nigeria, Ortom has again dropped another bombshell.
Recall that the governor had earlier lamented that the country has been taken over by terrorists and that Nigeria is now like Afghanistan and other warring countries in the world.
He also accused President Buhari of supporting the wanton destruction of lives and properties by Fulani herdsmen with his inactions.
“Like I always say, if the Federal Government has the power to stop secessionists like Nnamdi Kanu and Sunday Igboho then they should have the power to stop banditry in the country too.”

“They call the attackers unknown gunmen but for me, I know that they are Fulani people coming to kill us. And the presidency is involved in this agenda.”
In a recent discussion, Ortom asserted that the Fulani people have claimed that they want to capture the entire country.
According to him, the Fulani Nationality Movement, FUNAM, was behind the recent failed attack on his life. “They said Nigeria is the only country that belongs to them. It is written and I have the document. They claimed that they have the power, money and all it takes to achieve it”.
“I have sent a copy of the document to the president, police, DSS. The FUNAM said they wanted this revolution in 1800 but could not achieve it through Usman Danfodio.”
