This is the worst advice I have ever heard in my life.In Ahoda,Emoha,Etche,Omork and Ogoni Areas where wike heading and under his Government not less than 500 persons have killed ,building and properties destroyed and he has not done anything nor call for state of Emergency. Wine is the most deceitful politician in Rivers state and Rivers will pay supremely for harbouring him

agreed violence reigns in those areas but the killing fields in Benue keep getting larger at jaw dropping rate.

Exactly what I said in a similar topic, that man is too damn weak as a Governor, wtf is he afraid to empower the youth to defend their land and lives instead of laying hope on Nigeria security forces who are aiding those terrorists to carry out their evil menace. God knows I will finish this people if I were the governor. They should go to Ekiti State and do that nonsense. That Otom of a person is just as woman as Ugwuanyi of Enugu State. Puppet cowards!

... Governor Samuel Ortom is a governor without a STRATEGY.

Orthom, the motor park tout...

The thing is those APC governors in middle belt region are sheepishly following buhari at the expense of their own people

Ortom is following the dictates of his Godfather Akume. Benue's treasury is now Akume's wallet.

I must agree with Wike on this. Governor has failed but why Benue governors are like this?

Actually the trio of Governor Ortom, Senator Akume and Minister Audu Ogbeh who are the APC leaders in Benue, should rigorously and urgently engage the APC-led Federal Government who Benue State voted for in 2015, to return that goodwill by ending the gruesome massacre and criminal madness. Benue people voted APC not so much for the popularity of these individuals, but in protest against the failed PDP in the State at the time. The State Government needs to deliver or risk losing that goodwill, if they have not significantly lost it already.
That said, these murderers perpetrating these killings are actually our enemies (yours and mine, even if you will respond to my post by insulting me!). They have killed in virtually every region of the country and they have attacked every tribe including those who insult each other on Nairaland. It is not about any one tribe or particular political party, these guys have chased people from the farms thereby inducing food shortage and contributing to recession/hunger, rendered people homeless, created orphans, widows and widowers. They are enemies of the State and threats to our collective well being. All should condemn their brazen acts of criminality and challenge government at the highest level to be more responsive and decisive. They are worse than Boko Haram and militants combined. They are terrorists, saboteurs, kidnappers, arsonists, murderers, rapists and lawless criminals.

His incompetence shines through his toadish face.

The curses and cries of millions of Biafran kids killed in 67 still hauntis these Tivs and Idomas. Backbiting scumbags.

abouzaid:
wike or fayose would have been a better governor in benue.

ortom would have be better off in river state,
He wouldnt have be financing cultist and herdsmen wouldnt be disturbing,
With too much money in river state, ortom would have improve the state more than what wike is doing, by not financing cult activities.

yes wike

our senators are busy chasing ali around to wear custom uniform

instead of them to force pmb to declare a state of emergency in benue and kaduna state.

you are as brainless as your DP depicts!!

Just Like Fashola Babatunde

For once Wike has impressed me.
What he said is the truth Tivs we knew in time past were great warriors no one can understand what's happened to their reputation.

AN EYE WITNESS ACCOUNT OF THE UNTOLD TERROR, INSECURITY AND MASSACRE FACED BY BENUE COMMUNITIES OF MOON DISTRICT IN KWANDE LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA, BENUE STATE.
By: Ukan Kurugh
The insecurity that has faced Benue State in recent times has raised a lot of questions that would deserve salient answers. Politics, religion, occupation and terrorism would be thoroughly beamed with a searchlight as to, attempting to uncover the mystery behind this affront to the dignity of the human person. But before this, the state seems to be loosing hope in the political leadership as daily, events unfold that seek to weaken the trust in the power of the sovereign. Equality is equity they say, yet Benue is being crippled and we are gradually embracing the Hobbean state of nature.
There is an untold story of the pain of the Benue communities in Kwande Local Government Area of Benue State sharing boundaries with parts of Taraba and Cameroon. The Anyiase, Imandeukusu, Imandedura and Anyamadi communities in the above named local government were sacked four years ago by Fulani herdsmen. People were killed, farms destroyed and houses burnt and the people all deserted the area. Just recently, the state government is urging people to return to the place. Unfortunately, the Fulanis are bent on acquiring the place against odds for its fertile and valley nature.
There is a river flowing the district called Moon in which these communities are located and they are placed in between mountains, thus giving them an ever green coloration that is desiring for farming. Out of the 6 communities, the Fulanis have sacked the above mentioned 4 and are bent on eliminating the remaining 2 (Ityulugh and Injoor). However, these people without security backup have being putting up a resistance for far too long.
Unfortunately, there is a conspiracy by the Army in nearby Taraba town of Takum who join forces with the Fulanis and some Jukuns to attack the Tiv people. The peoples cries through letters seems to have fallen on deaf ears and help does seem to be coming. They wrote the National Human Rights Commission in 2016 and since then, nothing has been done. Through the instrumentality of the Benue State Assembly Speaker, Terkimbi Ikyange, Channels TV covered the unfolding events and nothing has happened since then. They seemed to have been forgotten by the government.
On Monday again, the Fulanis attacked these 2 communities in company of armed military men and some Jukuns, the communities again, without support put up a resistance and they (Fulanis) moved backwards to Kashimbila. As if that was not enough, yesterday again, they re-enforced and came back on the claim that, one of their men was missing and in the process destroyed houses and farmlands as well as properties. The villagers again pulled a last minute effort of their own which was not good enough.
The entirety of the district, there is no policeman, no army officer, no security agency, no government establishment and nothing and the people have had to resort to fate. Due to the un-motorable nature of the road that leads to the communities, they came in about 5 army vans, parked them elsewhere and used bikes to these communities. This is even as the earlier mentioned communities have been occupied by the herdsmen. Now they want to completely eliminate the indigenes and then to take over and in the evening of the same yesterday, they again attacked on a claim that, a gun belonging to an army officer was missing. The people did not even know if this was true and therefore refuse them entry.
As I write about the embattled communities sharing boundary with Taraba and Cameroon down to Jato-Aka, there is no security presence and the people have been abandoned to their fate. This is worst as, the army who should forestall peace and maintain order are the very ones, under heavy pay, aid Fulani hersdmen in attacking the now naked communities.
There is a demand for justice and peace by all Nigerians of whatever tribe or sort. Benue communities should not, under circumstances be treated less. The government at the federal and state level must live up to the demand of protecting the lives and properties of the people, even as enshrined by the constitution.

The worse Governor Benue state has ever produced.
The most annoying thing is that come 2019 he will still be on the throne because of vote don't count.

Wike on point

Ortom a failure and a mistake

u want to be in Buhari good books at the expense of the life of the people u govern, it is rather unfortunate.

God bless Wike for true talk... Samuel Ortom is just there while things are going wrong. The most painful is calling the deadly Fulini's indigenous people of Benue state.

vorigan:
Ortom is the most incompetent governor in Nigeria right now. Salaries are not being paid, infrastructure is at a low, no clear policy direction and worst of all, the state of security in Benue is at best a joke.

Wike is right on this one!!!

Fayose is a man

maria43:
Orthom, the motor park tout...

The thing is those APC governors in middle belt region are sheepishly following buhari at the expense of their own people

U seem to knw much abt middle belt...Are u frm dt region?

What goes around comes around. GSO gave Agatu land to fulani people for grazing reserve. He called them our brother. Agatu land is good for grazing while Tiv land is not. Fulani are brother to Idoma people whereas they are Tiv's enemy. Tiv people should hold GSO responsible for the course he placed on their land. Up Wike!!!

Gbam!!!!

There's this feeling or conspiracy of them not speaking or taking radical actions, so that they don't upset buhari's government.

Look at the one in bornu state, even when people are killed daily, he could not say the truth.

A senator gave security report of his town, the Governor attacked him. They don't want to say the truth, just to protect the government

vecman22:
lol...even wike has mouth to say ortom is not fit to a governor...

rivers of blood comes to mind....

wike is has stupid as ortom,the both of them are not fit to govern any state...

yea but is really annoying the way fulani herdsmen are killing people in benue state as if they want to annex us in benue state. pls keep political sentiment aside and reason with Wike.

Wike is very correct! Ortom is incompetent.

This ortom of a guy is stupidest human being alive. He is a big full not fit for local govt chairman!
He is a disgrace to the high office. Fulani ravaged your land, rape your women and killed your men. What did the bastard do? Nothing!! Gosh, I hate this man!

shame on Orton for being an atom.

Omenka aka omenkalives, what ya say?

Which Army? The one that covertly gives cover to armed fulani fighters commiting genocide in Benue, and masquerading as oppressed herdsmen.
I just hope the state assembly has the guts to impeach him for imcompetence and deriliction of duty.

If this madness is allowed to continue for another 2 years, politicians in that state will be leading cattle, and mass graves.

9jakohai:
State of emergency might just be what is needed....at least for the Army to root out the problem.

But the problem needs a longer term solution.

U really lack knowledge...
The electoral killings in rivers state wouldn't have ever occurred if not for the arrogance of rotimi amechi/APC Federal might display...
U should be blaming APC/buhari/amaechi and not wike.

I agree with Gov Wicked
If our leaders keep playing politics with security, ut lk only be a matter of time b4 we are all annihilated

What a sad thing going on before our very eyes!
Why is Gov. Ortom so quite about this, is he glad his people are being wiped off by fulani armed men?
What about the likes of Sen. David Mark, Suswan, they are just comfy sitting in Abuja I guess?
It's an open secret that a genocide is being commited against the natives of Benue and our government is quite.
A fulani jihad is going on and we pretend it's not!

Thank you. It beats my imagination why he cannot learn from Gov. Fayose of Ekiti state how he dealt with Fulani herdsmen.

not just ortom, abi na artom. even my own cry cry governor in enugu belong to the same league of mistaken governors. i believe they know the right thing to do, but they 're playing politics with the lives of their citizens, just to please the powers that be.
