The Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom has revealed that he
has no grudges against President Muhammadu Buhari amid face-off with the
presidency over herdsmen attacks.
Recall that the governor and the Senior Special
Assistant, Media and Publicity to President Buhari had hitherto engaged in war
of words over alleged inability of Buhari to tackle insecurity in the State.
However, in a media briefing to mark this year’s Democracy
Day and his mid term as re-elected Governor, Ortom said he remembers the
president in his daily devotion.
Ortom, who recalls how the people of the state organized
prayers for the president when he was having a health crisis, said he has no
reason to hate anyone.
He, however, admitted that they both have some disagreement
over policies not favorable to the people of the state.
“I am a Christian; born again for that matter. And I have no
reason to hate anyone. The president is my president.
“I pray for the president every day in my devotion. When the
president was sick, Benue state was the first state that organised prayers for
him under my watch.
“We can disagree on policy issues. But I don’t hate the
president. My president is Muhammadu Buhari.
“But the president cannot force me to violate the
Constitution which I swore to uphold,” Ortom said concerning his relationship
with the president
