Security operatives at the Air Force Base in Makurdi prevented Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State from accessing the base when he came to receive Vice President Yemi Osinbajo who landed at the base on his way to Wukari. See previous thread here: Security Personnel Bar Gov Ortom From Receiving Osinbajo

The Governor phoned Vice President Osinbajo and informed him of the incident and the Vice President promised to resolve the issue. The Governor was given access to the base when he came back to receive the Vice President on his return from Wukari.



Video by Tolani Alli, Vice President Osinbajo's photographer.

It's not very audible (because of the sound of the helicopter) but this is what I can make out.

Osinbajo: "Excellency"

Ortom: "Good morning sir. Welcome sir".

They were both laughing as the shook hands.

Osinbajo said that he spoke to the Chief of Air Staff and he said that he would apologise and Ortom replied, "No, no, he did".

Ortom said: "Sorry for. . .when I went back, the press asked me, so I addressed them, so. . ."

Hian. The AirForce Officer who was suspended, I believe he should be asked if he wasn't privy to the protocol ìnvolving the state governor coming to receive the V.P and if he wasn't, then there's a communication gap in the Air Force and the officer should be called back immediately.

However whoever is responsible for the communication gap should be the one suspended.

As Osinbajo branch Benue like dix I'm sure dere is nothing he can commison....

Cos ordinary gutter Ortom no build for Benue people....

They now decide who's on the presidents side and who's not. It's now a caste government. The whole structure of governance revolves around a wayward president and his ethnic henchemen occupying sensitive positions in different agencies of government.. If you dare speak truth to power, you are ostracized and decimated..

Oya ORTOM since everything is now under control, go and pay salaries.

The Nigerian Airforce has tendered apology to the gov and govt of Benue state.

On behalf of Benue state, the gov has accepted the apology.

Anyway, that one concern dem.

But on behalf of lamidi cownu and the entire ipob pigs, I wish to state that apology not accepted.

Also, ipob yewt wish to inform Ortom that those Tiv youths asking him to invite vp to commission projects are Buhari's paid agents.

Any Tiv youth worth his onion should realise that Ortom has performed creditably well for Benue state through several insults he has been hurling at Buhari. As far as the entire ipob yewt are concerned, insulting Buhari is a sufficient project, he doesn't need to embark on any other project. Infact he doesn't need to pay workers' salaries.

MISPLACED AUTHORITY AND RESPONSIBILITY OF STATES, THEREBY RESULTING IN CLASHES, BRUTALITIES, SOMALIAN STYLE. BUT THANKS TO THE VP'S CIVILITY, ASTUTENESS AND DECISIVENESS. QUICKLY REMEMBERING THAT "GUTTERS DRAIN THROUGH THE PALACE WITHOUT BRANCHING TO PAY HOMAGE TO THE KING", HE CAME BACK TO MAKE AMEND. GLORY TO GOD.

TO NASS, STATE ASSEMBLIES AND GOVERNMENTS, IN VIEW OF EO10 JUDGEMENT OF THE SUPREME COURT,

RESTORE FULL AUTONOMY OF POLICING SOCIAL SECURITY; RESOURCES ECONOMIC SECURITY AND ELECTIONS POLITICAL SECURITY TO OUR 36 CONSTITUTIONAL STATES NOW.

LIMIT FG TO FLG, EXACTLY AS IT IS IN THE US.

REVERSE FUNDING. LET THE 36 CONSTITUTIONAL STATES CONTRIBUTE TO RUNNING THE FG.

Forget that thing, have you ever heard of anything like suspension in the army?

You mean the officer involved in the incident has been suspended?

Ortom self na cruise man,I have never seen this man on TV commission even overhead or even substandard Bridge, his only achievements is decamping from APC into PDP and winning second term with pdp ,and to insult the federal government, as if he is better than them ,why not do the criticism like gov wike with projects.today is Sunday ,pray for peace of the country because you will be the first beneficiary of your prayers for your country, because God protects those who want peace from all evil but if u support terrorists, bandits and UGM u might become a victim of their nefarious activities, police men are killed and some of us are rejoicing, recounting it with awe and joy as if this is a joke ,human lives are wasted and people joked about it.we all have to collaborate with security agencies to fish out this daredevils and send them where they belong.we should do our part by giving them timing information about every suspicious movements or activities around us and pray that they succeed in defeating enemies of humanity...most of our young men and women is struggling with frustration, poverty and lack of opportunities simply because they hate their country and curse it not knowing that whatever u wish for others naturally comes to u ,Nigeria is made up of human beings who lives in an area of lands ,the people who lives in this area are Nigerians, my financial life changed for good when I started loving my country and praying for it peace and progress, I witness peace and progress in my life, though our leaders are failures but our nation will never fail

ortom d type of governor we need in de whole of SE

haba bros

Much ado about nothing. Ortom is a catastrophic failure and the good people of Benue state are buying none of his media charade anymore.

Nearly EIGHT YEARS and the crook has yet to build a single primary school. But right in the heart of Makurdi, he's building his private polytechnic!!

Only fools from outside with a broken moral compass support him.
