Buhari Didn’t Visit My People…No Campaign In Benue – Ortom Declares
Samuel Ortom, governor of Benue, says there will be no campaign for the 2019 elections in the state if there is no solution to the clashes between herdsmen and farmers.
Speaking in an interview on The Osasu Show, the governor said he invited President Muhammadu Buhari to console the people of Benue over the killings and destruction of their property but the president did not honour the invitation.
He said as the president, Buhari is supposed to provide citizens of the country with security but has failed to take the required action to curb the killings.
“For now, my primary concern is to stop these killings; to ensure that the IDPs go back to their homes and live peacefully. Once that is done, we can talk about other things,” he said.
“I don’t care about what happens tomorrow. Even if I am not governor, I can stay back and fight for the right of my people.
“When we visited, we even invited the president to come to Benue state and pay his condolences to his people… Because we are members of the party, he is our president. If these people are attacking us, we expect him to give us security.
“He has done a number of things. He directed NEMA to provide relief materials, he also asked for security to be beefed up but I am not satisfied with what the presidency is doing on this matter. There is no doubt about that.
“I ask for justice for Benue people because we have not been treated fairly.”
Ortom said the attacks on Benue is an act of vengeance by heders for losing the 1804 Jihad. He said Benue people stopped them from penetrating the state through Sokoto.
He said though he did not know the level of “support the herders get from the presidency”, he is sure that the press statements by the Miyeti Allah Cattle Breeders Association are issued by “people living in Abuja”.
“These people have gone beyond grazing, it is about invading the land and taking over. All the places they have attacked, they have chased the people away and they are using their farmlands produce as feed for their cattle,” he said.
“They are conducting international conferences, issuing press releases and writing on social media and they have come out to say look, in 1804 Jihad, it was Benue people that stopped them from penetrating from Sokoto to the sea.
“And this time around, they are not going to stop. They will make sure that the mobilise all Fulani men across the globe, especially from the West African sub-region to ensure that they acquire arms and come and invade and take over the land.
“Because they also said that Nigeria is the only land that God has given them, so no other person will supervene on this land except them. That it is their own land, they got this land by conquest and we have no business staying on this land. It is unbelievable. The statement is coming from Miyetti Allah.
“Well, I wouldn’t know about their patrons or the extent of their involvement. But one thing I know is that the people that have been issuing these press conferences and statements are known. They are living in Abuja, they are living with the powers that be.”
Asked why he has not met with Sa’adu Abubakar, sultan of Sokoto and Lamido Sanusi, emir of Kano, to call the herders to order since the monarchs have associated with the herders, Ortom said it is the responsibility of the federal government to enforce the law.
“Why will I sit down with them? We have constituted authority over this country. And it is the responsibility of the federal government to enforce the law. We expected them to have acted,” he said.

Your eyes are now open abi? When you hv brought grief and sorrow to your people through your selfish interest. When you were praising buhari, you never knew the dawn will be like this. Were you not warned? Anyway, the early you start amending your ways, the better for you. Benue indigenes time is know to put your house in order and all other minorities who are still shouting sai baba for 2019. A wise person will always learn from the mistakes and experiences of others. Go and get your PVCs to able to do the needful when the time comes, that is d only way.

Why would he honour the invitation when he was the one that perfected the plans to kill your people, Benue people?
Is just because that Middle Beltans and Southern Governors and other politicians in the regions are so daft and naive to see through event of devilish plans of the Sultanate Fulani Islamist Caliphate supremacists to maraud the entire regions by their demonic conquest.
Wake up now!

*CALIPHATE PREPARATIONS FOR THE DAY AFTER ONE-NIGERIA IF COLONIZATION PLOT FAILS*
The Fulani Caliphate knows that decisive and irreversible steps are being taken by the *entrapped constituent components of the defunct Nigerian Federation* (which collapsed since 1966) to dissolve and dismantle the dead Union into viable, cohesive units of successor-states according to the Broken Map we have seen here a number of times.
Their *Plan A* was to forcefully seize the entire Territorial Space by raw *Conquest* for which reason they marauded their way to power, using the *Boko Haram Militia*
Once in power, the BH machinery was rebranded and redeployed as *Fulani Herdsmen* to get on the task of a sweeping Southward mission of Conquest which has already overrun the Upper Middle Belt that include Southern Kaduna/Plateau/Taraba and now gyrating vigorously in Benue where heavy resistance is building up, with moral support and solidarity from the rest of the South.
The Caliphate *Plan B* was to get themselves prepared for the day after *One-Nigeria* taking to their side whatever could be taken from *the rest of Nigeria*- Oil/Gas US$Billions, Customs/NPA rentals, Company Taxes and VAT proceeds. Then, heavy International borrowings in the name of *”Nigeria”* but the Projects are in the *Green Belt* according to the MNN Broken Map. The World Bank Projects were specifically commandeered to the North East flank of the Green Belt.
From these hijacked pool of funds, we have seen massive agro-investments in the Green Belt; Massive Road and Rail Investments; we saw massive Power Generation initiatives in Green Belt; we saw the massive upgrade of the Kaduna Airport which was accompanied by the shut-down of Abuja Airport (this was a ploy to introduce the International Business Community to the Kaduna Airport in readiness for that new Economic hub the Caliphate was creating further North and to help extirpate the Boko Haram insecurity halo that hung on the whole of the North).
We saw the 1000 km Crude Oil Pipeline Contract from Niger to Kaduna Refinery.
We now see the proposed Katsina Refinery on the border with Niger Republic; We see this new Rail Infrastructure in the same Katsina-Niger Republic axis.
I could list 20 more such.
The huge Public Funds being expended come exclusively from the South, as well as foreign borrowings that are guaranteed by Southern Assets, particularly Oil/Gas and it takes the most naive amongst us not to see the elaborate, massive *Asset Stripping* of the failed *One-Nigeria Enterprise* by the Caliphate.
The tragedy of the situation however is the inability of the South and the MB to see these deft moves by the Caliphate which continues to hoist the 2019 Elections to hypnotize the rest of Nigeria into deeper slumber where all dreams revolve around *PVC* while the Caliphate is wide awake, stockpiling and freely deploying *AK47* to drive their *PLAN A* of *Conquest and Colonization* as far as it can go as that guarantees for them, a smoother Transitioning or even Swith-Over to their *PLAN B* of surviving on their own the day after *One-Nigeria*, leaving the rest of us with damaged Society, Infrastructure, Mortgated Economic Assets and huge Foreign Debts.
To up the potency of the 2019 hypnosis, the Caliphate just poured the opium of *Restructuring* and already, untrained eyes from the South and MB are celebrating the *Trojan of Consensus* on Restructuring which the new Restructuring song from the Caliphate represents.
It is clear to everyone of us now that Election will not resolve jinxes of Commonsense demands that we halt all further dissipation of energies on permutations around how best to approach the Elections.
Ditto for the hoax of *Restructuring* which the Caliphate is already railroading to their *”National Assembly “*
The dangerous descent into the *HIGHWAY TO RWANDA* where we have been plunged by the Caliphate, presents the rest of Nigeria with limited options and even more limited luxury of *time* and we are talking of stark *Death or Life* choices here.
The best bet for the rest of Nigeria is to shake up the Caliphate spell and brace up for the urgent self-redemption imperative.
My Proposal on how to proceed on this task with things that are entirely in our hands is available.

When the president lost two close relations did he got invitation before he travel to daura to send his condolences?
