BAUCHI GOV’S UTTERANCES DISAPPOINTING - GOV ORTOM

Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom describes as disappointing, the comments made by his Bauchi State counterpart, Bala Mohammed who blamed him for what he termed ‘negative perception of Fulani herders’ when he spoke on the current security situation in the country.

While Governor Ortom will not want to join issues with the Bauchi State Governor, he finds it shocking that a colleague who took the oath of office as he also did, to protect and preserve the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, now takes the lead in violating provisions of the same Constitution by calling for lawlessness.

He points out that the most shocking part of Governor Bala Mohammed’s statement was where he defended herdsmen for bearing arms saying “they have no option than to carry AK47 because the society and the government are not protecting them”.

Governor Ortom wonders which section of the law the Bauchi State Governor cited to support herdsmen’s free movement around the country with sophisticated weapons.

He recalls that it was the same Governor Mohammed who once said on national television that a Fulani man is a global citizen and therefore does not need a visa to come to Nigeria, and that the forests belong to herdsmen.

Governor Ortom wonders if his friend and colleague in Bauchi State knows a thing or two about the horrendous activities of herders in parts of the country to warrant the emotional defence and justification that he has repeatedly put forward in their favour.

In reference to Governor Bala Mohammed’s comment that there are Benue people who are freely doing business in Bauchi and elsewhere, Governor Ortom states that Benue indigenes in Bauchi have been law abiding and do not carry arms to attack their hosts, noting that Fulani as well as many other Nigerians residing in Benue who respect laws of the land also live peacefully with their hosts.
Governor Ortom says his administration has not driven away any law abiding Nigerian in Benue State.

The Governor finds it unfortunate that those who are trusted with the people’s mandate and should ordinarily uphold truth and justice, have chosen to mislead the country. He stresses the need for leaders to be cautious and retrace their steps which are capable of leading the country to anarchy.

Moral lesson:The Fulani will always love and defend their own.no matter what..
Good morning middlebelt..and good morning south

Nigeria jagajaga

attimes I begin to wonder if leaders of the north are sincere on there approach to this herdsmen issues as well as boko haram....there statements attimes leave many to wonder if they are not even the sponsors.
let them build ranches in the respective states in the north and if its successful then the south can follow than this killings happening everywhere n no one is doing anything about it.

A Fulani man will always remain with the ideology that they are born to lord over Nigeria no matter the level of education you give them, they are naturally born killers, the only way to engage them to fight them back blood to blood.

Who need iTunes gift card

Pm me

Just advise, just should incase u want to fight Fulani, use juju, Fulani fight with juju. Don't engage them in battle without your protective juju.

Fulanis will always defend their Own. Is only we down South that are hypocrites. Look at what they do to Igbogho and Nnamdi. It is their own people who is fighting them. Fulani man can never do that. Ooni ran to Abuja to sell out Sunday, when he came back he started warning Sunday to watch his back. How many times has Sothan of Sokoto condemned Bokoharam. Until South learn, they will always be slave to Fulani

Bala Mohammed is now public enemy number one since herdsmen are carrying AKs to protect themselves from bandits, other people will start carrying weapons to protect themselves from herdsmen too

"...Bala Mohammed’s statement..defended herdsmen for bearing arms saying they have no option than to carry AK47 because the society and the government are not protecting them."

This governor is very silly, stupid and irresponsible with this statement.Same Fulanis that have maiming & killing people with the Buhari govt rationalizing every of their evil deeds?

This has proven that the northern governors and central government are indeed in support of the murderous atrocities of these Fulanis. As governor Ishaku Darius once said, let the FG allow all man to bear arms or let people arm themselves.

I need me a Gun. Have no option left.

What's good for Fulani is good for Toomuchstuff

We are here forgether torever....!

This is why we need to come together and defend our common cause because all these useless traditional & conventional government are never gonna protect anyone from these their foot soldiers.

It's terrible when the herdsmen get support from the top.

Fulani gov of Bauchi is just one example in practical detail that shows how fulanis protect their tribes people perpetually in every situations. It doesn't matter whether the person/persons in question were caught RED HANDED butchering a human being. As long as the terrorist is fulani, they'll defend him at all cost and blame the victim.
That's why no fulani elite has condemned fulani terrorists activities till date.
In their pathetic minds, fulanis are above the law. Let them carry on their wickedness. Soon people will spit in utter disdain on hearing the word fulani. The curse they've incured on themselves through bloodshed is too great that in future, no sane individual home or abroad will want to be associated with fulani, or even think about 'fulani' let alone mention them. Fulanis will be avoided like plague, a dreaded disease until they disappear from history.

Ortom, Are you not part of the 'Northern Governors Forum'? Why? Benue is not part of the Caliphate is it not time Benue withdrew from NGF?

It is only cows or humans who have acquired the Fulani herdsmen's orientation, are the ones who have refused to condemn the atrocities of the Fulani herdsmen.

Fulanis problems need to be solved as soon as possible.

How they are governors of almost all Northern states should tell you something

Wow no mention of PDP in this thread. It looks like hypocrites made their tents here. From Zamfara governor to Sheik Gumi to Bala Mohammed, sensible Nigerians are beginning to realize who the real sponsors of Killer herdsmen are.

Contemporary northern leaders are greedy, self centered, wicked hearted, deceptive to their people and very mean.

Without doubt, from this Gov. Mohammed's words to Gov. Ortom, it is easy to see how banditry and insurgency are fuelled by the leaders, particularly of the northwest and northeast. We can safely say that most of those herdsmen and criminals get their AK47s from such leaders.

Recently, there has been another story that the evil herdsmen get pittances from the ransome collected, while the bulk of the money goes to their sponsors.

With such a governor, this country may witness another civil war, as cautioned by the respected Prof. Soyinka.

I want to ask, what will it cost the South if we boycott cow meat. It is the South that eat this cow meat in the country and they are using our blood to train their cow. If the South boycott cow meats, they will lose market and they will naturally move out of our community. My opinion.

We have our chickens, goats, ram, bush meat etc. Must it be cow meat which is not even healthy.

If an ordinary cow and illiterate Folani cattle reader in the forest need AK 47 to protect himself then, our technocrat, professors, legal luminary, etc need a machine gun, grenade, missile etc to protect themselves from being killed by these useless people.....


Bala Mohammed, no be your fault, Nah Lord Lugard cause all this nonsense.....if not for the crude oil money they are using to finance your State...many of your people could have died of hunger and lack like the people in Niger and Somalia

bala missed it

This governor has placed ethnic sentiment over the constitution of the country, a big shame the 'fresidency' has not issued a statement to condemn his unguarded utterances! But they are always quick to respond to Southern governors when the foolanis feel threatened
