Ortom: I Have Document, Fulani Want To Takeover Nigeria

Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State has insisted that
the agenda of Fulani herdsmen in Nigeria is to conquer the
entire nation.
The Governor, while speaking with BBC pidgin at the
weekend, said he has documents to back up his claims.
According to him, the Fulani Nationality Movement who
claimed responsibility for his recent attack, said that
Nigeria is their only country.
He said, “Fulani Nationality Movement, FUNAM were the
people who attempted to kill me recently. They said
Nigeria is the only country that belongs to them. It is
written and I have the document.
“I have sent copy of the document to the president,
police, DSS. The FUNAM said they wanted this revolution
in 1800 but could not achieve it through Usman Danfodio.
“They claimed that they have the power, money and all it
takes to achieve it”.
Ortom, who has been in a face-off with the presidency
over his criticism of President Muhammadu Buhari’s
inability to tackle the security challenges facing the nation,
lamented that terrorism is beginning to takeover the
country like Afghanistan and other waring countries in the
world.
“The terrorism that we used to hear in far away countries
like Afghanistan Iraq and other warring countries has
surfaced in Nigeria.
“And as it is, it seems the presidency is in support of what
is happening because it is not saying anything.
“Like I always say, if the Federal Government has the
power to stop secessionists like Nnamdi Kanu and Sunday
Igboho then the should have the power to stop banditry in
the country too.
“They call the attackers unknown gunmen but for me, I
know that they are Fulani people coming to kill us. And
the presidency is involved in this agenda.
“The Fulani people have claimed that they want to capture
the entire country”, he added.
