President Buhari Not Responsible For Benue Killings – Gov Ortom by Paperwhite(op): 11:35pm On May 29, 2018
Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue state, Tuesday exonerated President Muhammadu Buhari from the herdsmen killings in the state stressing that those linking the president to attacks were being mischievous.



He recalled that the herdsmen crisis predated the present administration assuring that the people of the state would still support the President in the coming 2019 general elections despite the losses and pains they suffered as a result of the herdsmen incursions in the state.


The Governor who spoke in Makurdi was answering questions posed to him on how he would convince Benue people to vote President Buhari again in 2019.

Ortom said, “Buhari will definitely come here for campaigns, I cannot preempt what he will say or what Benue people will say.

“But as you know in politics, there are no permanent enemies or permanent friends but permanent interest.

“If President Buhari’s interest is in tandem with the interest of the people of Benue and he asks them for their vote, they will vote him likewise my own, if my interest is also in tandem with the wishes of the people they will vote for me”.

“But one thing I want you to know is that the herdsmen/farmers clashes predates this government, so it will be a fallacy to conclude that herdsmen killings in the state is linked to President Buhari”.


“That the herdsmen are killing Benue people does not mean it is Buhari who is responsible. There are still reasonable herdsmen who still live here in peace with their neighbours.

“There are some who support the anti open grazing law but the real enemy is Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, they are the ones we hold responsible because they addressed the media and stood up against our anti open grazing law.

“They vowed to resist the law and they went ahead to do it. They are a violent group, we know them and we are holding them responsible and have also gone a step further to institute a criminal case against them in the court.”

I am sure these answers was a result of too much questions. The should please allow the Governor to breath, he is confuse.

Provision of adequate security is the no-1 priority of the Fed & state govt but here is Ortom helping Buhari with the blame game.
It's not the same Ortom that was lamenting bitterly of the president/presidency leaving Benue to its fate while crying cluelessly like an orphan huh
Same man that said Benue indigenes "should protect themselves with stones" against Buhari's sophisticated arms-wielding marauding & killer foolanis brothers?
A people Buhari said are Gaddafi trained Lybians, Malians, Guineans & Nigeriens that are killing Nigerians @ will but have defied all the security agencies in Nigeria huh

It is obvious you're on a mission to tarnish the Image of a man who used over 40years to build his Integrity.......

The herdsmen/farmers clash is as old as Nigeria, just that there is more media coverage because of social media

The Fulani race was wiped out in many local governments in plateau state yet no much reportage in the past

I am totally against any form of violence that leads to loss of lives but I still believe Buhari can't be sponsoring the killing of the same electorate that voted him in especially when he is aspiring for re-election

During GEJ regime the same Buhari was blamed of sponsoring all the violence in the country


It is pathetic and bizarre to be a chronic wailer

You know them. Yet the government you're supporting hasn't lifted a finger to arrest or prosecute them, even after thousands of lives have been destroyed...

Well, you all will answer someday to the voices of blood crying from the land...

1. Please provide details of your alleged Fulani genocide in Plateau state. I've lived in Nasarawa and Plateau, among many northern states.

2. It's on record that Buhari vehemently spoke against GEJ's administration's war against Boko Haram, calling it a war against the North... Isn't that enough for anyone to blame him? Or is that part of his integrity building strategy?

While I was in Nasarawa, there were reports of pockets of clash between herdsmen and farmers. But it never was a large scale attack by herdsmen and those herdsmen weren't armed with AK47, just their stick and cutlasses.

You wanna speak the truth, speak the truth. So you also don't sound like a pathetic and blinded supporter

What if his people love what's happening to themhuh

Perhaps with #1000 per person, they'll forget what befell them and vote for calamity.
Re: President Buhari Not Responsible For Benue Killings – Gov Ortom by akinyeleaa: 4:08am On May 30, 2018
Ortom is unstable to have said this.
same person who said buhari abandoned them months ago. Moreover what is buharis number one responsibility if not to secure the citizens.
Ortom would do anything for reelection and I hope he loses now that I've seen his sycophantic tendencies
Re: President Buhari Not Responsible For Benue Killings – Gov Ortom by deltaisgreat: 4:10am On May 30, 2018
So this man wants to contest again knowing that he is not capable to protect the lives and properties of his people? His lack of political will to face buhari face to face as a Tivi man and tell him that he is the cause of the massacre and daily blood shed in his state Has Led to this Continued Daily Massacre Of benue People. In a saner clime, this man could have been forced to resign or he is disgraced out of office by impeachment. Benue people I pity una sha

Re: President Buhari Not Responsible For Benue Killings – Gov Ortom by 9jaBloke: 5:24am On May 30, 2018
It is actually true. The herdsmen vs farmers crisis predates the present administration. The issue on ground is the levity with which government is treating the matter. The Governor should have emphasized that.

Re: President Buhari Not Responsible For Benue Killings – Gov Ortom by Nobody: 5:45am On May 30, 2018
Buhari is unjustly attacked over herdsmen killing.
Though his body language over the issue because of his ethnicity is the same with the herdsmen sold him out.

However, in all sincerity Buhari was placed in a difficult position because the herdsmen are Fulani like him.

And who is the Grand Patron of the Miyetti allah?

And who told you to accommodate your killers?

And who refused to sanction the IGP that refused to come to your aid as directed?

And who is the boss of the organ of government that called you a "drowning man"?

I see Stockholm syndrome at play, not just politics.
