Buhari working for Fulani to take over Nigeria – Ortom

Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, has alleged that President Muhammadu Buhari is working for the Fulani ethnic group to take over Nigeria.

Reacting to the killings of residents of the state by suspected herdsmen on  Tuesday, the governor stated  that no fewer than 70 people have been killed in the last two weeks in three local government areas of the state.

According Orton, the Federal Government has failed to take proactive steps to stem the spate of insecurity in the country.

He added that despite calls on the Federal Government to arrest Fulani herdsmen, the FG has not said anything in the direction.

He said: “What is happening now, to me, is very clear; Mr President is just working for these Fulanis to take over the whole country.

“His body language is what is being played out. The body language, the action and inaction of Mr President shows that he is only the President of Fulani people.

“We are becoming a Banana Republic, the President  gave the security agencies order to shoot at sight, whosoever is having AK-47 and the Minister of Defence came out to say that they cannot shoot at sight… so who is the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces?

“Mr President must rise up, he is the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and over the 250 nationalities that are in this country; Mr President is their President, we all voted him.

“He has taken oath of office to secure the country and provide security for lives and property; this is unacceptable, this cannot continue.”
