Buhari prefers herdsmen terrorism – PDP explodes over comments against Ortom
The Peoples Democratic Party has reacted to President Muhammadu Buhari’s comment that Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, parted ways with him and the All Progressives Congress , as a result of disagreements over the issue of Fulani herdsmen atrocities.Buhari was reported to have said this while addressing the Nigerian community on Tuesday, at a town-hall meeting in Dubai.
“Because I told him the cattle rearers and settlers problem in Nigeria is older than myself not to talk of him and at first republic, there were cattle routes, they put infrastructures and even veterinary. Reacting, Bemgba Iortyom, PDP Publicity Secretary in Benue, said Buhari’s comments represented a shocking acceptance by a sitting President that he and his country’s security architecture were not only incapable of policing its borders effectively to stop criminal elements from breaching those borders, but powerless to curb the criminal activities of those intruder elements.
“Concerning Ortom, President Buhari need not belabour himself trying to craft new narratives as to why the Benue State governor parted ways with him and APC. “Rather the parting of ways between the Buhari Presidency and Gov. Ortom was and still is to be located in the fundamental divergence in the view of the president and his advisers, who are mainly of his Fulani ethnic stock background, on one hand, and on the other hand the governor and his Benue people who are the victims bearing the brunt of the brutal bloodletting and pillaging in their land.
“How then could he not have become a “Permanent Trouble” always asking for reprieve from the authorities for his people who were unendingly being so brutally massacred?
