Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State has expressed optimism
that those attacking him for voicing out the criminal activities of suspected
Fulani herdsmen would one day face the nemesis of their actions.
In an interview with Dailypost, the governor expressed hope
that the Supreme God would vindicate him following the attacks he had suffered
while defending his people, stressing that the day of reckoning is coming.
The Governor accused some political actors in the state of
sabotaging the interest of the people just to remain as Minister or gain the
position of a party’s national chairman.
He said, “I will say it’s well. God will help us. All these
things they are doing; the day of reckoning is coming. I can assure you. All
these injustices; all the things that I have suffered on behalf of my people;
the day of reckoning will come for all these blackmailers who have come out now
to cause confusion in Benue State.
“The same people had benefited immensely from our people who
voted them, but they are now turning our state into IDPs camps.
“God will judge us. And because they want to be National
Chairman, they want to remain as Ministers, they do press conferences, they
insult the people and walk on their graves and across their dead bodies. The
day of reckoning is coming. Watch my words! I serve the living God”.
Recall that the governor had recently been in war of words
with the presidency and the Minister of Special Duties and Inter-governmental
Affairs, Senator George Akume over his calls on President Muhammadu Buhari to
tackle the security situation in Benue and other parts of the country.
