Ortom threatened to sue the APC chair “because it is clear that there is something about the killers that he is hiding.”

“For him to come out with these allegations shows that he has something he is hiding,” the governor said through his Chief Press Secretary, Terver Akase.

He said: “Miyetti Allah groups have severally claimed responsibility for the Benue killings ,yet the Federal Government controlled by Oshiomhole’s party has not deemed it necessary to invite them for questioning.”

Shameless midget of a terrorist party ,this is coming after he failed to impeach ortom. Disgrace will be oshiomoles portion and desperation will lead him to final destruction
either the both knows about the killing in the state. by the way the end of APC is near..

Re: Oshiomhole, Ortom Clash Over Benue Killings by GoodGovernance: 9:06am On Jul 28, 2018
Truth be told.

Ortom politicised the killings.

Is Benue the only state ravaged by terrorists?

What of Zamfara,Sokoto,-Plataue,-Adamawa,-Borno,-Taraba,-Nassarawa,-etc

Killings that have been there since atleast 1999.

I support Oshiomole on this!

Oshiomhole, Ortom clash over Benue killings

All Progressives Congress (APC) National Chairman  Adams Oshiomhole  launched a tirade against  Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State yesterday, claiming that the governor is partly responsible for the security  challenge in the state.

He also accused the governor of non-performance and aggravating the level of poverty among his people.

But Ortom, who dumped the APC on Wednesday, fired back immediately.

He said Oshiomhole appeared to know more about the killings in Benue  and was hiding the truth from Nigerians.



He threatened to sue the APC chair for disparaging him.

In firing the first salvo yesterday, Oshiomole had said Ortom’s  exit is a blessing in disguise for  the APC after all.

He  told reporters in Abuja that contrary to claims by the governor about the killings and general  security situation in the  state, Ortom  was partly responsible for the problem.

“Governor Ortom has complicated,  by his own actions and poor judgement, the security situation in the state,” he said , citing reports by APC leaders in Benue State.

“They drew our attention to the fact that some of those that have been arrested as a result of the killings are people who have been associated with him, including people in his employment, especially a guy known to have been involved with Boko Haram, whom he recruited to manage what they called forest guards.

“These people have been arrested and are in police custody. If an appointee of a governor is involved in a heinous crime, including killing, that will be enough for a governor to worry about.



“Instead, he played up the ethnic dimension of criminality, even though some of those killed were killed not by Muslims but Christians of Benue State origin, including those he employed.

“These people have been in police custody; so, his attempt to explain away criminality by playing the ethnic card is unhelpful to what he should do as governor to manage the situation better.

“After all, those in Benue State have always been there and his predecessors, including Suswam, had found ways to manage these diversities. So, Ortom’s incapacity to manage it and even seeking  to make political capital of the death of Benue people is unfortunate.

“It is important that Nigerians understand that the condemnable killing  of two Reverend Fathers and some Christians in a church, those who have confessed to these crimes include people who have worked with Gov. Ortom and these killings were done few weeks after one of them was extremely critical during his sermon about the governance of the state and the style of governance of the Governor.



“His price obviously was to pay with his dear life and not a few thought that the governor would celebrate that. I am not about to suggest that Gov, Ortom might have asked anybody to go and kill anyone, but that some of those involved in these killings are Benue State originated are Christians.

“That is not to deny that some herdsmen have also been involved in the killings. But the responsibility of any government is not to seek to manipulate this, but to confront it.

“As a party, we condemn any life that has been wasted by criminals and we accept that government’s  responsibility is to protect life and property. But I condemn anyone of us who seeks to make political capital out of these killings because we have shared responsibility to protect their lives regardless of their religion or location. So, we are relived that Ortom has returned to PDP.



“When you look at it, he got our ticket on a platter of gold because he was never a participant in the building process of the party. He became a candidate by accident. The lesson to learn is that never again should people become candidates by accident.”

Oshiomhole also described   Ortom’s  three and a  half years as governor as a waste as he has  no single  project to show for the mandate given him.

His words: “In spite of the allocation accruing to Benue State, the bailout fund amounting  to over N20 billion and the huge sums of money collected from the Paris Club refund, he was not paying salaries to Benue workers, including teachers, local government employees and civil servants. He is owing some of the as much as 12 months salaries.

“So, the entire economy of Benue State that survives  on civil servants salaries is  compromised. “Those who live on rents paid by civil servants cannot collect their rents with which to survive, thereby having effect on the commercial life of the people. This explains a vicious circle of poverty in Benue State that has deepened under Gov. Ortom.“There was also the fact that for three and half years that he has been in office, he cannot point to any concrete project that he has carried out. He cannot point to any major project that has been completed.

“When we asked him these questions and allegations that while  the Vice President and the President had visited other states to commission projects, in Benue  they have only paid condolence visit. It is okay to lament the absence of federal presence, but what is the excuse for the absence of state projects in the state?

“His argument is that he had diverted a lot of the resources to security issue. That raises the issue. Can you be spending N22 billion on security and the people are increasingly insecure? So if you accept that he spent money on security, it meant that he realized  that he has a responsibility to secure life and not pass the buck.

“So, I felt scandalized watching him saying he had to leave the APC because he did not feel secure. To be honest, I am relieved as National Chairman and the leadership of our party in Benue State are relieved that he has returned to where he came from.

“So, we now have a clean platform to search for a credible Benue citizen that can provide the kind of leadership that Benue State deserves and not one who seeks to make political capital out of human graves and celebrating the death of his own people.

Ortom announced his defection from the APC on Wednesday,a few hours before he was due to attend another round of peace talks at the party’s national secretariat.

 

Oshiomhole has something to hide, I’ll sue him, says Ortom

In a swift reaction last night to Oshiomhole’s comment, Ortom  threatened to sue the APC chair  “because  it is clear that there is  something about the killers that he is hiding.”

“For him to come out with these allegations shows that he has something  he is hiding,” the governor said through his Chief Press Secretary, Terver Akase.

He said: “Miyetti Allah groups have severally claimed responsibility for the Benue killings ,yet the Federal Government controlled by Oshiomhole’s party has not deemed it necessary to invite them for questioning.”

He also dismissed allegation on non performance  by the governor.

“That is double speak.It is laughable,coming from Oshiomhole.

“Just last week, he eulogized Ortom as one of the stars  of APC, one of the bst performing governors and this week he said the governor has not performed.

“He is saying one thing in the morning and another in the evening.

“We advise him to concentrate on his job as party chairman.

“He is speaking on everything and on anything.

“The other day he was counseling the president on how to run his government and chastening the ministers.

“He should desist from delving into issues  not pertaining to his position.”

Making Oshiomole chairman was a big mistake.

The wide mouthed idiot talks from all sides of his mouth without thinking to the extent that he has indirectly insulted the president when exchanging words with Ngige.

He does not even know his responsibilities as a party chairman. He is hungry to say something whenever he sees reporters with microphones. I wonder why he did not go for the position of publicity secretary.

He started blabbing immediately this government came into power, quoting unverified figures of huge amounts of money which he claimed were stolen by the previous administration to seek relevance.

I am sure he has finished his honey moon with his young wife so he can now go on a blabbing spree. However, the young boys are waiting to help the idiot with what he has left at home.

A mistake by you own myopic reasoning.

Oshiomole has brought back dynamism and mutual engagement,plus effective communication to APC.

Oyegun was very dull.

Its not a question of personality(being wicked or good) but a question of character... U think I don't know some of those that were affected by the crises?
Don't play that card with me. Ortom was never fit for that position, unfortunately my state ppl didn't realise on time. N I blame the APC for giving him that mandate. May the souls of the departed rest in the blossom of the Lord.

I never will exonerate the FG of the blames too. But Ortom was the epitome of the crises, he is unguarded and never obeyed the rules of the state. The crises should never had happened if he sort for counsel.

Oritzy:
Oshomole talks too much.

He might end up destroying the party more than the way he met it.
I think Oshiomole should take it easy because his Gra-Gra, if not backed by 'facts', would ridicule him and the President.

1) How can there be development in a state where Fulani Herdsmen routinely slaughter people and burn down there villages?

2.) how can there be development in a state whose people are predominantly farmers, while Fulani Herdsmen routinely graze hords of Cattle on their farmlands and if they complain, they are slaughtered and burnt?

3.) Is OShiomole not aware that the people he is claiming were arrested, are actually "Grazing Guards" setup by the Orthom Govt, to prevent clashes between farmers and Fulani Herdsmen, to prevent cattle rustling and to arrest those who flout the c=states Anti-Open grazing law?

4.) That these State Guards (who are never armed with weapons) were arrested by transmission-IGP, in place of the real Fulani herdsmen killing benue people, is just a testimony to the evil being perpetuated by the Fulani Clan, under the supervision of Buhari himself and his DSS Chairman Dan Alli.
5.) there is nothing wrong in employing a 'repented criminal' as a security guard because it takes a thief, to catch a thief. So, Orthom is not wrong in his security strategy.
6.) Orthom is just a State Governor, he does not control the military, airforce, not even the Police in his state. Buhari does. So, the worsening situation in Benue cannot be blamed on Orthom. Again, traitor Oshiomole isjust trying to ridicule himself on this one.

7.)Is Oshiomole blind and Deaf or has he not heard the Myetti Allah Herdsmen Association, patronned by Buhari, lay claim to the responsibility for the killings and even promised that unless Benue repeal their Anti grazing law, the killings will continue? How come such Association of killers has not been banned, declared a terror organisation and its leaders arrested or does Oshiomole think Nigerians are fools? He better shut Up.

8.) Oshiomole is just trying to take over the job of 'Lying Mohammed' because this one that he will praise somebody like Orthom in the morning and then abuse him in the evening, shows that he is a sycophant and from what he has done in the past, the way he betrayed the Protest against Fuel price increase unde rPresident Obasanjo and took money and land in return, he has shown that even Judas Iscariot, has more honor than him! Oshiomole would always be a TRAITOR, as far as Nigerians are concerned. We never forgot.

9.) If Oshiomole wants to be sincire, he should tell Buhari the home truth: Arrest and prosecute your terrorist Fulani Herdsmen killing Nigerians in their hundreds all over the middle belt and other states. Stop protecting them with the nations security apparatus.


While l dont like Orthom defecting to the PDP (he came from PDP before and he should have gone to a better alternative party because he has just gone from fry-pan, to fire and back to Fry-pan again!), l think he has NO CHOICE than to defect because the APC, under Buhari has shown that it values COWS more than human life.

Buhari, by his actions and inactions on this Fulani Herdsmen issue, is destroying, if he has not completely destroyed the APC.
So sad my beloved APC will suffer at the coming elections but l beg Nigerians to separate between the actions of Buhari (dont vote for that supporter of killer Herdsmen at the Presidential elections but still vote the party at state level) and the party APC at the state level.


We cannot afford to hand over the country back to those that nearly bankcrupt it before 2015.
Let us vote for other people, not PDP or APC.

What sort of cousel should he seek again, when he was always appealing to President Buhari, visiting Aso Rock all the time...while all Buhari could offer in return was: Go and Accomodate the Herdsmen, the same people killing the people of Benue?!

Buhari is responsible for these slaughters, using his IGP, his DSS Chariman Dan Alli and other Fulanis in his Govt.
Buhari does not like the Anti Grazing law passed by Benue and some other states so he has instructed the Police and military to look the other way, whenever these Fulani Herdsmen and killing the people of those state.
