Killings: Defend Yourselves, Ortom Tells Benue Residents by adenigga(op): 2:23pm On May 22, 2021

The Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, on Friday, reiterated his call to people of the state to rise and defend themselves from external attacks, particularly by militia herdsmen.

Ortom made the call at Adoka in the Otukpo Local Government Area of the state during an address at the funeral of Mama Enenu Ebute, the mother-in-law of the Deputy Governor, Mr Benson Abounu.

The governor described Israel as the chosen heritage of God, saying it did not allow its people to be killed in such a manner without defence.

He said, “Our people have had enough of these killings and they should rise to defend themselves against any external attack. We need to live.”

The governor urged patriotic Nigerians and men of good conscience to speak out against the ills in the country, pointing out that support and synergy with security agents was imperative in the fight against banditry, terrorism and other forms of criminality.

He lamented that hundreds of villages in Benue State had been sacked and thousands displaced by marauding herdsmen, noting that such portended danger for the state as the food basket of the nation.

Ortom admonished the people of the state to put politics aside and join hands with the government to fight for the survival and soul of Benue State, which he said was under siege.

While expressing the belief that the deceased lived a worthy and fulfilled Christian life and would be enjoying eternity in heaven, the governor prayed God to console the bereaved family members, stressing that he was happy to be associated with the Abounu family.

In a homily, the Archbishop of Abuja Diocese, Most Rev Oche Job, said there is life hereafter and encouraged them to embrace Christ as their personal Lord and Saviour.

The wife of the governor, Mrs Eunice Ortom; the Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Titus Uba; Senator Abba Moro; former Deputy Governor, Chief Steven Lawani; and members of the Benue State Security and Executive Council attended the ceremony.

Since our security personnel have failed us,it's best we do the defense by ourselves.

Now you’re talking... Not that rubbish talk “don’t put the law in your hands”

Kill them as well when they come, defend yourself.

That means they will have to codedly have fire arms in their possession

The Midwest was the only region created by a referendum of the people. A second Midwest referendum is coming.

The defeat of Uthman Dan Fodio by Tiv warriors which ended the jihadist match to the Eastern region and planned dipping of Koran in the Atlantic Ocean still dey pain Fulanis.

To conquer the buffer zone between the East and North hatred was created in the hearts of Tivs against their Igbo neighbours by the Fulanis pretending to love Tivs by giving them some positions in the then northern Govt of Sardauna and when Sardauna was killed by Coupists wrongly termed as 'Igbo coup', Tiv mobs killed thousands of Igbos escaping from the far North in 1966 to take revenge for the Fulanis and formed the bulk of the foot soldiers that fought the civil war.
Now it's clear that Tivs have never been forgiven for ending the jihad and preventing Islam from entering the Eastern region and having any roots along the Atlantic areas of Nigeria.

I am loving this. No expansionist agenda shall survive into the Middlebelt.

Some people thinks that they are smarter by slaughtering people and taking over their villages, then rename them to their own while idiots in government watch with nonsensical nonchalance.

They have taken over many villages in Jos-Plateau, Benue and Taraba. They tried to take Bwari area of Abuja by installing an emir, but the Gbagyis and Gwaris gave them fire for fire.

The buhari led government ended up protecting the hausa-fulanis who are clearly the invaders.

Dear Peace loving Tivs, Agatus and others, take up your guns, arrows, bows, machetes, daggers and go to all villages that they are now inhabiting and sack them all.

Annihilate all of them. In fact, go on the offensive.

These demons and their sponsors have always been on the offensive.

Been on the defensive have cost the people a lot. Push them away from your lands.
Reclaim all your lands.

If this is the only thing Ortom can do for his people in his second term, so be it.

I think this move should be tagged "Operation Reclaim Lost Lands and Villages".

Let it run for the next 20-30 years. Don't stop until they stopped coming into Benue State.

As for Audu Ogbe, he should be banished forever. Himself and all his children.

That man is an a55 licker. Dude was so eager to give the whole Benue state out for RUGA.

RUGA was his silly idea.

Very wicked grumpy old hag.
