Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State has again advocated arm
license for himself and other Nigerians in order to face the security
challenges facing the country, especially the incessant herdsmen/farmers
crisis.
The governor made this known on Wednesday while addressing
newsmen in Makurdi the State capital.
The governor who accused President Muhammadu Buhari of
nepotism, said the Federal Government deliberately refused to caution the armed
Fulani men against killing innocent Nigerians.
He said he had once asked the Federal Government to grant
him arm license, adding that “when an armed Fulani man is aware I have a gun,
he would be scared of coming close”.
He urged the president to live up to his promise of “I
belong to everybody and I belong to nobody”, adding that with the current
security situation in the country, Buhari is for only the Fulani men.
Governor Ortom said: “This country belongs to all of us and
the presidency must act fast because time is going.
“Why is the Federal Government quiet about this Fulani
matter? When will the Federal Government come out to criticize and arrest these
Fulani men carrying AK-47? Are we second class citizens in this country?”
