Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State has declared that he
has never insulted President Muhammadu Buhari despite a face-off with the
presidency.
In a 24-second video posted on his official Facebook page on
Sunday morning, the governor said his criticism of the president over the
security reality in his state was misconstrued by some Nigerians.
According to him, he criticizes the president to ensure that
his administration succeeds.
He said, “Sometimes I talk about the presidency and at one
point some ignorant people said that I was castigating President Muhammadu
Buhari.
“Some were so ridiculous to the extent of saying that I
insult Mr President, I did not insult him. It is true that as a leader, I want
him to succeed so I criticize”.
The Benue State Government and the
presidency have several times engaged in face-off over alleged inability of
President Buhari to tackle insecurity in the state.
