Benue Governor, Ortom Lampoons Buhari Over State Of The Nation

EKO HOT BLOG reports that Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue state has said that Nigerians are feeling very sorry for electing President Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2015 and 2019, going by the level of insecurity and biting economic hardship in the country.

The Governor who spoke on Thursday shortly after signing the amended Benue State Open Grazing Prohibition and Ranches Establishment Law of 2017 in Makurdi said all is not well with Nigeria, and there was every need for President Buhari to listen to the cries of Nigerians and come up with policies that would mitigate the economic hardship in the country.

He bemoaned that Nigeria was in disarray while mediocre and sycophants had surrounded President Muhammadu Buhari, saying “corrupt people that are in the government are deceiving you the President. But I must tell you the truth that all is not well.

“You need to listen to us, you need to listen to the voice of the masses who elected you, because they may have been deceived, now we are sorry that we elected you as President of this country.”

Furthermore, the Governor who also faulted the corruption fight of the government said, “this government has not fought corruption the way we expected them to do since 2015. All the people they are prosecuting are just perceived enemies. The fight is selective, there are former governors in the present cabinet who should be facing trial for corruption but they are not. So which corruption are they fighting?” Ortom asked rhetorically.
