Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State has accused the Federal Government of paying lip service to security challenges ravaging the country.
Governor Ortom while speaking to journalists on Tuesday, November 16th, 2021 in Abuja said:
Nigerians are under siege and if urgent steps are not taken, terrorists would over ran the country in no distant time.
In his claims, over 1,700 person's have been killed in Benue State since the state of insecurity under the current Buhari administration deteriorated, stressing that out of that number, over one hundred were security operatives serving in the State.
Governor Ortom further stated that 1.5 million persons are still in Internally Displaced Person's Camps across the state with no hope of returning to their ancestral homes soon.
He said as a patriotic Nigerian, he has the responsibility to speak out against any threat to the country's sovereignty, insisting that those keeping silent in the face of evil perpetrated by bandits and kidnapers were worse than the actual perpetrators.
The Governor stated that the APC government did not only fail Nigerians, but has also appeared helpless in the fight against insecurity and shown that it has no capacity to fix the economy, agriculture and education.
Governor Ortom called on Nigerians to join hands with the rebranded PDP and collectively address the yearnings of the people.
