The Governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom, has revealed that President Muhammadu Buhari is actively supporting the armed Fulanis terrorising parts of the country, to take over the entire country as their own, Page 36 learnt.
Governor Ortom fearlessly disclosed this when he appeared on ARISE Television, on Wednesday morning, while speaking on the insecurity in his State.
He described as barbaric, the gruesome killing of Farmers in Edumoga, Okpokwu Local Government Area of the State, by suspected Fulani bandits terrorists.
Recall, that more than 24 residents were recently killed in their sleep, in Benue communities, by suspected Fulani bandits.
The suspected Fulani bandits had invaded and killed 8 persons in Mbadwem, Guma Local Government Area, and 16 in Tiortyu, a sprawling settlement in Tarka Local Government Area, along Makurdi-Gboko road.
Reacting, Governor Ortom said exactly: “It is not just about a certain Local Government Area, it is about the entire State, it is about the entire country, Nigeria.
“Tell me where else, is it in Zamfara, where the Hausa people live and the Fulanis have decided to take over the land.
“Is it in Kaduna, where the indigenous people were either Traditionalists or Christians, now they have been taken over.
“Is it in the South-East or in the Middle-BeIt, where the Fulanis have decided that they are going to take over this country, and actively they have been supported by the present government of President Muhammadu Buhari
“Like I said, I know they are not happy, we know they are angry. But that is the truth. Even if I am dead, let it be on record just like Martin Luther King of America, who stood for the grass and said the truth. I am ready to do it.
“This is the truth; the Fulanis have made up their mind to take Nigeria as their own country, and using Islam as a tool to ensure that they are in control.”
