Speaking about the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, Samuel Ortom alleged that the current administration has not been able to achieve anything since it came into power in 2015.
Rather than improve the wellbeing of the people and make their lives better, Ortom stated that the current administration finds joy in diminishing the growth of the people in the country.
In the statement of the governor, Samuel Ortom said the PDP is ready to do every possible thing to return to power in 2023 in other to give meaningful life to the people of the country.
In the statement, Benue state governor said ” Buhari government is being deceitful and not being able to secure our land. They have rather succeeded in destroying our economy, our security, our social life, and everything you can think of in this state. ”
” As a governor, I have been privileged to read the history of Nigeria and that of those who have been destroying us including the military. Usually, we say that the worst democratic government is better than the military administration. ”
” Without any doubt, this is what we used to say, but for the purpose of APC- led government, I want to say that the worst military government we have had in Nigeria is better than this particular government led by APC government. ”
” As a governor, I have never seen anything like this; people who don’ t want you to tell them the truth or advise them, try to twist things and tell the world that you are against them. ”
” The farm settlement been canvassed by the present regime was targeted at populating the nation with foreign Fulani but our state, Benue, would continue to be opposed to the Nigerian government’ s gimmick at seizing territories in Benue. ”
” Also, there is another trick again that the presidency is trying to bring. Before they came with a water bill aimed to annex our river, but I opposed it. Now they are talking of farm settlement so that they can bring Fulani from Niger, Sierra Leone, Mali Chad, and Mauritania, terrorist Fulani to take over our land. I’ m saying capital no, it will not work here. ”
” Personally, I don’ t have a problem with our indigenous Fulani who has been cohabiting with us but for those terrorist Fulani, it will not work in our state. ”
