As the war of words hots up between Benue Gov. Samuel Ortom and the Presidency, more revelations are oozing to the surface on what believers of Fulanisation agenda think is going on.
And Ortom is big on that—with concrete evidence.
The governor insisted the agenda of Fulani herdsmen in Nigeria is to conquer the entire nation.
He made this known while speaking with BBC pidgin at the weekend.
According to him, the Fulani Nationality Movement, which claimed responsibility for his recent attack, said that Nigeria is their only country.
“Fulani Nationality Movement, FUNAM were the people who attempted to kill me recently. They said Nigeria is the only country that belongs to them. It is written and I have the document.
“I have sent 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.
“They claimed that they have the power, money and all it takes to achieve it.”
FUNAM has been making statements intended to stir Nigeria into ethnic clashes.
But nobody has been able to confirm the identity of the group, or their promoters.
Ortom has however claimed he can identify them.
“And as it is, it seems the presidency is in support of what is happening because it is not saying anything.
“Like I always say, if the federal government has the power to stop secessionists like Nnamdi Kanu and Sunday Igboho then he should have the power to stop banditry in the country too.
“The Fulani people have claimed that they want to capture the entire country”, he added.
