Benue State Governor, Samuel
Ortom, has announced withdrawal from political activities in the state.
His action followed the recent
killing of people in the state by suspected Fulani herdsmen.
Addressing Critical Benue
Stakeholders at the Benue People’s House, Makurdi today on the renewed Fulani
herdsmen invasion and Government’s efforts so far, Ortom said he would desist
from attending political functions until the issue was addressed.
He said, “Henceforth, I have
withdrawn from any political activity for now, till peace returns to Benue
State. No one should think of 2019 for now; the year will take care of itself.
I was elected to lead the living, not the dead. I’m not afraid of death.
“I would rather die defending my
people. This is beyond politics, I have called all former governors of Benue,
David Mark and party leaders, even in the opposition. Let us chase the fox
before we scout for the chicken.”
