BE PRESIDENT FOR ALL NOT FOR FULANI ALONE – ORTOM SLAMS BUHARI

SPEAK LOUDER ; TO THE GCFR

Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, has criticised President Muhammadu Buhari for his lethargy and failure to call Fulani herdsmen terrorising Nigerians to order.

He said Buhari is the President of Nigeria not the President of the Fulani tribe where he hails from. Ortom also noted that Buhari pledged to be the President of everybody and nobody in 2015 and therefore should serve the interest of all Nigerians.

The governor, who spoke at a press conference in Makurdi on Wednesday after his recovery from COVID-19, urged the President to act fast, adding that no Nigerian is a second class citizen or slave to the Fulani people.

At the conference, Ortom lambasted the Presidency for calling for the arrest of popular Yoruba rights activist, Sunday Adeyemo, well known as Sunday Igboho, who issued a quit notice to herdsmen accused of abductions, rape, destruction of farms, and others in the Ibarapa area of Oyo and enforced same.
