RE:Fulani Herdsmen Back Jime For The 2019 Benue State Governorship Election

A Dying Horse Must Kick Before Its Death.

By Berger Alfred Emberga. Makurdi.

I read with disgust a sponsored media article on Daily Trust Newspaper wherein the paper alleges that Fulani herdsmen have backed Rt. Hon. Emmanuel Jime, the Benue State APC governorship candidate.

Ordinarily, one would have have ignored the cheap and fake news emanating from Governor Samuel Ortom's led administration that thrives on falsehood and propaganda to survive but, for the sake of those who might have believed the cheap narrative, I wish to state that even though there is nothing wrong with Fulani herdsmen backing Jime to emerge as Governor of the state in 2019, but the publication is purely the handiwork of the Governor's media handlers.

In their desperate attempt to link Jime with Fulani at all cost Ortom's media handlers forgot that the Governor recently in Agatu LGA of the state, said without mincing words that there are INDIGENOUS FULANI in Benue state! So going by the earlier made statement proscribing some Fulanis as indigenes of Benue state, what is wrong with the purported endorsement? Again, have the media aides forgot that Mr. Garius Gololo whom Daily Trust alleged to have granted them interview via phone was the Governor's appointee on herdsmen Affairs?

Let us also be aware that the Ortom's administration is housing over fifteen (15) appointees who are core Fulani indigenes. They include Special Advisers, Special Assistants etc. So if Fulani people have no say in Benue, why would the Governor give them appointments to be part of his administration?

Again, one would wonder what Ortom's media handlers are trying to achieve by linking Jime with Fulani origin by all means, but what would one expects from the government that relies solely on falsehood and propaganda for survival having seeing it's monumental defeat in the next year's election.

I elect to say again without fear of contradiction that even though there is nothing wrong with Fulani herdsmen backing Jime for the 2019 election. However, I make bold to say that having worked with the failed government in the capacity of media aide, these were some of the briefs we used to get from the man in charge of media department who believes that the only way to get quick money from his boss is by cooking up stories capable of triggering him to release more money for the department.

The general public should therefore disregard the media publication in its entirety bearing in mind that the Ortom Government is like a dying Horse, it must kick before it dies. As you have seen the strong signals, the Ortom led government will finally be laid to rest in the next few months. Therefore, there is tenge tenge in the camp.

Berger Alfred Emberga, was media aide of the Governor, he writes as APC diehard supporter and Jime Follower.

APC is losing Benue state ; take it or leave it .

Hehehe. If I were this guy I will denounced them openly. We know Jime will loose but not before election.with this type of support he has lost the the election before time.

Politicians are wicked. They want to finish this man governorship ambition.
