Governor Samuel Ortom is perturbed by what he thinks is the devastating State of the Nation.

The Benue State Governor said that President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration has been hijacked by a cabal, and the President is handicapped to curtail the excesses of the cabal.

He stressed that President Buhari actually meant well for the nation when he was elected to the saddle in 2015, but, this changed when the alleged cabal took over from him.

Ortom made this disclosure while addressing the Media at the State House in Makurdi, the State Capital.

The former All Progressives Congress, APC, stalwart said that this was not the Buhari he knew before the 2015, asking: “Where are we now? We are just paying lip service and the country is going down day by day.”

Ortom lamented that the nation is 40 years behind, as it is lagging behind in all aspects.

“I believe in Nigeria. I believe in the unity of this country, but let us not take the line of mediocrity. There is injustice, there is no equity. There is no fairness in this country any longer. Nnamdi Kanu and Sunday Igboho are detained for one reason or the other, but no one is after kidnappers and bandits who are busy having a field day in the country.

“The security agencies are not going after them. In Benue State, over 1700 people have been killed and over 100 Army, Police and DSS officials have been killed and the Federal Government is helpless.

“This Government has failed; this Government has demonstrated that they have no capacity and collectively we have failed “, Ortom stated.

Commenting on his relationship with President Buhari, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, stalwart said: “Sycophants and cabals have tried to distance him from me, however, I have a positive relationship with security agencies in Benue State”.

Governor Ortom added that  it was because of that he recently signed a bill that empowered the Community Volunteers Guards to carry arms in the State, because Benue people are intimidated by the Fulani Herdsmen and Bandits that have continually terrorized the State.
