The Benue State Government has lambasted the former Minister
of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode over a comment he made on the security situation
in Benue and other parts of the country.
FFK had in a statement asked governors including Samuel
Ortom of Benue State battling with insecurity to take charge of security in
their states and not just leave the problem to President Muhammadu Buhari
alone.
A statement issued by Governor Ortom’s Special Adviser,
Media and Publicity, Terver Akase accused the former Minister of only making
efforts to protect the image of those feeding him, saying he now survives on
cash-and-carry loyalty.
According to Akase, “Fani-Kayode’s case does not only sound
like a broken record which repeats a single beat, causing ad nauseam among the
audience, but his utterances also smack of an icky and trite song composed by a
man who is bereaved of every ounce of shame and now survives on cash-and-carry
loyalty.
“His attempt to compare other Governors with those who
procure his meal ticket regarding the security situation in their states is an
open reminder to his benefactors that his wallet needs to be refilled.
“Fani-Kayode is a merchant of acrimony who often embarks on
narratives sterile in substance but laden with emotions and only good enough
for the cesspit. An overtly self-seeking politician who keeps no true friends.
The statement revealed that Governor Ortom who was the first
to enact a law to prohibit open grazing of animals with the introduction of
ranches had also introduced Livestock Guards to enforce the law, stating that
he also recently established Community Volunteer Guards at the state, local
government and ward levels to ensure the security of lives and properties.
Akase further claimed that Governor Samuel Ortom is one of
the most proactive Governors in the country when it comes to the issues of
security.
“The only thing that Governor Samuel Ortom has, however,
refused to do is sponsor the likes of Fani-Kayode to make press statements to
commend his efforts in ensuring the security of lives and property of Benue
people”, he added.
