Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State has accused President
Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government of actively supporting Fulanis to take
over Nigeria.
Ortom, who appeared on Arise TV on Wednesday morning, said
this while speaking on the insecurity in Benue.
He described as barbaric, the gruesome killing of farmers in
Edumoga, Okpokwu Local Government Area of the state by gunmen believed to be
herdsmen.
Recall that more than 24 persons were recently killed in
their sleep in Benue communities by suspected Fulani herdsmen
The suspected Fulani herdsmen had invaded and killed 8
persons in Mbadwem, Guma Local Government and 16 in Tiortyu, a sprawling
settlement in Tarka Local Government, along Makurdi-Gboko road.
But Ortom believes the recent attacks in his state by
militia Fulani herdsmen have to do with their agenda to take over the entire
country.
Ortom said, “It is not just about a certain local government
area, It is about the entire state, it is about the entire country, Nigeria.
“Tell me where else, is it in Zamfara, where the Hausa
people live and the Fulanis have decided to take over the land.
“Is it in Kaduna, where the indigenous people were either
traditionalist or Christians now they have been taken over.
“Is it in the South East or in the Middle BeIt where the
Fulanis have decided that they are going to take over this country and actively
they have been supported by the present government of President Muhammadu
Buhari
“Like I said, I know they are not happy, we know they are
angry. But that is the truth. Even if I am dead, let it be on record just like
Martin Luther King of America who stood for the grass and said the truth. I am
ready to do it.
“This is the truth the Fulanis have made up their mind to
take Nigeria as their own country and using Islam as a tool to ensure that they
are in control.”

When the united nations representatives came you did not cry out loud enough to let them know you want self determination for that is the only solution. For nothing you say or do will let them change their mind. They will tell lies to make you let your guards down. Arm and protect your people. Present evidences of their wicked decisions and deeds to the international bodies and cry for help. Crying for help is not a sign of weakness.
