Dan Ali and Ortom Senate Appearance

By Ifeanyi Emeka

There is no doubt that Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State has chosen to play politics of 2019 more than showing leadership which governance required of him.

He has been moving from pillar to post in search of elusive solution to the problem he created. As a result, he has been trying to make the people believe that he is a victim of circumstance whereas he indirectly caused the crisis through some shallow policies.

The governor failed to tell the simple truth about the Benue crisis. And the simple truth is that he is the chief architect of the problem by using his robber stamped State House of Assembly to enact anti-grazing law leading to the blockade of the nation's grazing route in the state which made it impossible for herdsmen to move freely with their cattle.

While appearing before the Joint Senate Committee on Police Affairs and National Security and Intelligence, the governor made some unfounded allegations against some top government functionaries among which is the Minister of Defence, retired General Mansur Dan Ali. In his submission, the governor said: ''The Minister of Defence, Mansur Dan-Ali attributed the Benue killings to blockade of grazing routes and implementation of ranching law. His position is misleading and dishonest. We hope that his position is not that of the Federal Government.''

While mischievously blaming the Federal Government, the Governor also said: ''Over 100, people killed in Benue would not have died if security agencies were responsive. None of the letters to the Presidency was replied.''

The question is, was the governor elected to write letters to the presidency or to govern the people right irrespective of tribe or religion?

What happens to the governor's power as the Chief Security Officer of the state?

What happens to his huge security votes?

While not holding brief for the Minister of Defence or the Presidency, the governor lied by denying knowledge in the existence of state militia funded by the government to implement the new anti-grazing
law.

The anti-grazing law is the immediate cause of the conflict and the governor should own the responsibility which his thoughtless action caused the state instead of looking for who to blame.

The earlier he reverses the policy and allow herdsmen to move through their own route until necessary arrangements are made for cattle ranching the better.

Laws are made to promote human dignity, cohesion and togetherness and not to segregate against any tribe or region.

We are all Nigerians who deserve to live in all parts of the country in peace. This decision must be made out of choice and not out of necessity.

Therefore, the governor should stop blaming the Minister of Defence and find lasting solution to the crisis he caused.

With all these or tomorrow bought himself a ticket tI'll 2023.
It's another brand of politics and won so many power around the world.

Hopeless slowpokes. A big misfortune will befall you and your ilks if you don't desist from this foolish propaganda and evil impersonation of igbos.

Senseless idi.ots.

If the anti-open grazing law was the cause of the ethnic cleansing in Benue, what then was the cause of the anti-open grazing law?

What was the cause of the massive and incessant killings of Benue farmers prior to the enactment of the anti-open grazing law?

What was the cause of the various herdsmen genocidal occupations and massacres in Taraba, Nasarawa, Plateau, Enugu and Kaduna states (etc) where there were ZERO anti-open grazing laws prior to the killings of the indigenous farmers/natives?

Do you realize that by blaming/shaming the victims and justifying the terrorist oppressors you are by implication saying that cattle-herding is more important than human lives?

May God make the lives of folks like you worse than the lives of cows and the dead men and women who were the victims of these ethnic cum religious induced massacres.

Amen

Reads like a hatchet job! Have states without the anti-grazing law not fallen victims to herdsmen also

ortom must say the truth about civilian joint task force,the rogue group he recruited to harass nigerians going about their legitimate business,ortom should tell the whole world who armed gana and other militia groups causing mayhem in benue state.

stop shouting fulani herdsmen and fix benue state,you have failed and wont be returned as a governor.

I don't believe these Fulani herdsmen stories anymore
There is something fishy happening in Benue

In a sane country this OP would have been hanged for impersonation of Igbo identity and his spirit sentenced to life in incinaration in the bottomless pit of hell
