The Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom has claimed that some
persons at the Federal level have taken over the rulership of the country,
accusing them of bringing the nation to its current state.
The Governor, during a press conference in Makurdi the State’s
capital, said President Muhammadu Buhari had good intentions when he assumed
office in 2015 but his intentions were hijacked by the cabals.
According to him, those around the president have failed to
inform him about the current security and economic challenges bedeviling the
entire nation.
Ortom, who said he believes in the unity of Nigeria, claimed
that some citizens have been forced to remain silent on the state of the nation
following intimidations, stating that he would always stand for the truth.
He said, “I know that Mr president intended well when he
came into power in 2015 but some cabals have taken over the country, and they
are dragging Nigeria to the mud.
“I’m not sure Mr president is aware of what is happening, if
he was, I believe that he would have risen up to his responsibilities and take
steps to correct what is happening.
“Many people who have been intimidated cannot speak, can’t
open up even to advise the president. We are getting to the level that if
nothing is done to redeem the situation we are in, the unknown gunmen, bandits
will take over this country and we will be nowhere.
“For me, I am concerned as a Nigerian, as a patriotic person
who believes in Nigeria as you can see the symbol of unity that I carry on my
cap which I wear everywhere I go in this world. I believe in the unity of this
country”.
