The Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, has accused one of his predecessors, George Akume, of being one of the enemies of the people that are unleashing terror on the state.

The governor, who spoke on Saturday in an interview in Lagos through his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Terver Akase, said the people of the state were shocked to hear Akume blaming the killings on the state government.

Akume reportedly spoke to journalists in Abuja on Friday.

In his reaction, Governor Ortom said, “He (Akume) is part of the enemies of Benue State. He has now shown that he is one of the willing tools in the hands of the enemies of Benue State. This government enacted a law to prohibit open grazing, thereby drawing the anger of those who want to oppose this.

“Those people came out and threatened that there would be no peace in the state until the law was repealed. They followed their threat with attacks and they came out to claim responsibilities. One of them called Garus Ololo justified the January killings that it was a reprisal attack for the stealing of 1,000 of their cows by cattle rustlers.

“So, if a serving senator who is from Benue could go out and claim that Benue people are killing themselves, that person does not only know about the killings but he is part of those killing the people.”

Akume had blamed the establishment of the livestock guards by the Ortom administration as the reason for the incessant attacks on the farmers by the herdsmen.

Not just Benue, but the whole country like yoruba moslems

Akume is the Judas of Benue.

He will sell his people for 30 pieces of silver.

Akume, Suswam, Ortom, David Mark are all useless and not after the betterment of the state. The only thing they know is to hire thugs, empower them for elections and political intimidation.

Bunch of clueless old rogues. The only good about Benue is our people and the land - no roads, healthcare, industries, poor standard of education, cultism, etc.

Akume still remains the game changer in the politics of Benue state

akume is to benue what what yorubas is to southern nigeria





sell out

Too bad! Benue state has many leader yet there are hungry and thirsty of just one credible leader
