Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom says any Nigerian opposed to the position of Southern Governors regarding the ban on open grazing of cattle has a hidden agenda.

Governor Ortom spoke on Thursday at the Holy Ghost Parish Hall, Makurdi during an address on the occasion of ‘Media Week and Communications Day 2021’, organised by the Catholic Diocese of Makurdi.

He noted that his colleagues from the Southern part of the country had towed the right path towards addressing insecurity in Nigeria, stressing that open grazing was no longer feasible in the country due to development and population growth.

Governor Ortom said Nigeria is a great country with great potentials and should, ordinarily, have no business with poverty if only there was guaranteed security for lives and property and the people are allowed to remain stable in their localities to explore opportunities in farming and other ventures.

The Governor expressed appreciation to the Church and Muslims, as well as residents and citizens of the state for remaining supportive of his administration.

He also acknowledged the good reportage of government policies and programmes by the Directorate of Social Communication, Catholic Diocese of Makurdi and all the media groups in Benue, pointing out that his administration would always welcome constructive criticism.

The Governor who hinted at his administration’s plans to commence teaching of vernacular in schools in the next academic session said children must be trained and supported to inculcate reading in them, even as he described communication as key in the society.

Catholic Bishop of Makurdi Diocese, Most Reverend Wilfred Anagbe stated that social communication was meant to uplift humanity and society, stressing that it is a positive aspect of the reality of life and not the other way round.

Bishop Anagbe who advocated for the teaching of history and vernacular in primary and secondary schools in the state said language defines a man and so should not be allowed to go extinct.

nlreserve:
Otorm should organize all north central governors to join the south. There should be support among the south and middle belt. Fulani is not more than the regions.

BKayy:
Nonsense. We seen this script before.
The thieves are uniting

SLAP44:


If he reins that, his village might be bombed and declared a terrosist haven

Fear the core north.

nlreserve:
Yes ooo, the thieves should unite and secure that place that's being stolen.

BKayy:
Nonsense. We've seen this script before.
The kleptomaniacs are uniting under the aegis of Southern Governors forum because their industry of robbing (Nigeria) has almost collapsed. So they are trying to perch on the new movement like they always do.
They forgot that we know that Nigeria is not a living thing. Nigeria is the Government. The Government are them, the so called Governors and Elites that robbed us all of the future of our unborn.
What we want is total dissolution followed by a thorough Revolution. The Revolution will start from Party coordinator up. Only through that will we have a new nation.
Them jumping from Nigeria to the new movement is still Nigeria in disguise

nlreserve:
The south will support. It's a matter of standing there for each other. That's why all the countries are standing for each other.

BKayy:

So that they will sell it back to the oppressors (Britain) in a cheaper price again?
No I'll pass.
What we need is a total revolution from someone that has never tasted the government. Someone like MNK

Imsoblessed:
when ever serious matters are discusd ,you bring these silly argument of the government stealing money, is the money from the north? Why are you crying more than the bereaved?. Stop all these your efcc tactics of diverting issues. Carry your terrorism to your fathers house, if he even has any.

BKayy:

Not everybody's father is like yours that doesn't have a house. Learn NOT to judge others from your personal experience

jaxin119:
Plain Truth.

Fulani Terrorists will not like this news, but who cares anywhere.

How Benue with similar culture and religion with the south ended up in the North remains a mistry. Otukpo Town in Benue state is less than 5 hours to Bayelsa, extreme south and over 20 hours to the extreme North.

Does 2baba or Terry G look like a Mallam/Aboki?

Imsoblessed:
See this almajiri

jlinkd78:
Ortom my guy. I love you from the heart same way I love MNK, men with balls

kabillionaire:


It's because our forebears sold us out to be used in fighting our fellow brothers (Biafrans).

If not for the likes of Gov. Ortom, other gullible ones like Sen. George Akume, Gen. Malu and Paul Unongo are still selling us out.

Thank God that we're wiser now to lick nunu drinking, cow bleeping killer fulani herdsmen ars.
