Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State has urged the people of Agatu to give peace a chance and cohabit with indigenous Fulani herdsmen, as was the case in the past.

The governor made the call during his visit alongside his Nasarawa State counterpart, Tanko Umaru Al-Makura, to Agatu local government area on Wednesday and was contained in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Tahav Agerzua.


Both governors were in Obagaji for a peace meeting aimed at finding a lasting solution to the crisis in the area.

Speaking , Ortom lamented what he described as the massive and unprecedented destruction of Agatu and killings by herdsmen but stressed that there was no alternative to peace for development and progress to take place.

The governor appealed to the Agatu people to forgive and allow the Fulanis who were born in the land to return, stressing that the Bible admonishes that vengeance belongs to God.

Ortom reiterated his earlier stance that ranching remains the best approach to ending farmers and herdsmen crises across the country.


The Chairman of Miyetti Allah in Nasarawa State, Mohammed Hussein, while speaking on behalf of the Fulani people, appealed for forgiveness.

Hussein promised that his people would abide by the resolutions taken by the security councils to ensure peace returns to the area.

The Agatu people have been involved in communal dispute with Fulani herdsmen, an incident that has resulted in the death of several people.

This man is a goat

I don't know what to call this ortom of a guy

Is this man okay at all? Allow them to come back to do what exactly?

xtians are easy to manipulate

The governor Is a goat,

Mumu man

Those who committed the atrocities must first be prosecuted, that is the path of peace and conflict resolution.

A fulaniman doesn't forgive as killing is part of their religion which is called a jihad.

This man is a certified fool.

You can imagine the manner of leaders people elect to rule them.

I don't like calling people fool, but some people are fools!!

If the governor truly said that, then I pit the people of the middle belt.

At a time killings are rife in Southern Kaduna, he brings up tjis kind of nonsense.

One again, some people are fools.

Eww! I couldn't finish reading the right up what a disgraceful son of the benue people.

Aswear e be like say you dey calypso wella

I can not believe i just read this, where was he when Agatu people were killed and mained? Where were the so-called Agatu born Fulanis when properties were burnt to the ground?

The Chairman Meyetti, respectfully you're a certified fool.

As for the governor of Nasarawa state, am not surprised he's on a mission to bring peace to his boys , stupid herdsmen sympathizer .

Apply Genesis 16:12, That's God's Decree. . Christ modified it by asking us not to be unequally yoked with anyone against us.

Kyase:

The man dey weed, am sure What nonsense

Gov. Ortom is useless to Uselessness

I was angry for his comment, but the posts above me just relieved my anger for the governor.

Why not in government house or his local government. Incompetence governor of all time.

a useful idiot. dis is one of d major reason why middle belters ar massacred daily by fulani terrorist. can u preach peaceful coexistence to savages dat doesn't understand anytin exept violence no wonder so many lands ar been taking ova by fulani herdsmen in middle belt.

cheruv:
I don't know what to call this ortom of a guy

Just call him Goat Ortom

i wont call you useless, you are useful, but only good enough to serve as a bad example

A useless bastard is what Ortom or Tom Tom or what ever d f*ck his name is. That stupid vermin.

He reminds me of the fool called okowa who unfortunately is my state governor.
When they kill ur people, u won't talk. When the people retaliate, soldiers come to harass them then u come calling for 'peace'
May God strike down that old fool called Ortom.

prosecute d criminals first, then you can talk about peace and forgiveness

This idiotic man should just shut d hell up
