Gov.ortom In Trouble As Herdsmen Vow To Unseat Him In 2019 by Upritman(op): 6:17pm On Oct 20, 2018

The re-election bid of the Benue State Governor State, Dr.Samuel Ortom may suffer a great set back if the new threat by Fulani Herders in the state is anything to go by.

In a statement signed by the National President, Alhaji Salisu Ahmadu and Secretary, Umar Shehu, of the Fulani Nationality Movement, FUNAM, an umbrella organization of herdsmen, the group has vowed to mobilize its members across the country to unseat Governor Ortom in the coming 2019 general election.

The group maintained that its members would rally support for any governorship candidate who would ensure their safety and protect their business interest in the state.

They also accused the Governor of conniving with personnel of ‘Operation Whirl Stroke’ to chase them out of Benue.

“We are aware that Governor Ortom is not only in support of the inhuman treatment and callous attacks on our members, but he is the major source of financial and logistical supports to the soldiers who are out to eliminate us from the state.   “Our helpless members have lost thousands of cows in the last ten months that the ‘Operation Whirl Stroke’ came into effect in Benue State. “The sad reality is that the Governor, after failing to use the Anti-Open Grazing Law to prevent us from carrying out our lawful business in his state, has now found an ally in the Nigerian Military who should be neutral at all times. “We also want to make it clear that we shall mobilize our members across the country and embark on an indefinite strike, stopping the sell of beef and other diary products if the harassment in Benue is not stopped immediately. “We also urge our members in Benue State to ensure that they participate in the electoral process by voting to reject Governor Ortom in the forthcoming election. “Our members need to stay in the Benue Valley and ply their trade, hence the need to support whoever promises to accept us as the good neighbours that we are", a statement by the group partly read.

Meanwhile Governor Ortom through his Chief Press Secretary, Terver Akase described the allegation as spurious, shocking and unfortunate.

Suanu's Blog recalls that hundreds of innocent people have lost their lives in Benue State due to series of clashes between farmers and herdmen.

APC herdsmen.

Reason why the presidency asked Nigerians to hand them their ancestral lands if they want to stay alive.
