Northern Govs kick over Gov Ortom's community security plans


*Holds meeting, pressure Buhari to stop plans


*Say he is in breach of the constitution

Some Northern States Governors of the All Progressive Congress (APC) are allegedly holding secret meetings with President Muhammadu Buhari in a bid to stop Benue state governor Samuel Ortom in his plans to from armed vigilante groups in the state.

A source well aware of the development who spoke with Daybreak newspaper revealed that many states governors of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in some northern state are not comfortable with the community policing security arrangement of the Benue state government and have risen up against it on grounds that it is against the constitution and an attempt to from a parallel security outfit in Benue state.

Daybreak recalls that Thursday last week the Benue State Government, had approved the establishment of vigilante groups to combat the high rate of insecurity in the state.

Governor Samuel Ortom while briefing journalists in Makurdi on the outcome of the expanded stakeholders’ meeting held at the new banquet hall of the Government House said renewed attacks on the people by armed herdsmen had overstretched security agencies, noting that the state government had decided to enforce “the law to provide for the establishment of community volunteer guards (vigilantes).”

He said the vigilantes would be constituted from the community to local government levels to complement the operations of conventional security agencies across the state.

Ortom explained that the recruitment process would commence immediately, adding that those to be recruited would be within the age range of 18 to 50 and mostly ex-service men.

“Those to be recruited are ex-service men and people from 18 to 50 years, and they must have stable sources of income and must have lived in their respective communities for a minimum of six years and they must be of impeccable characters and be loyal. All the vigilantes must carry weapons that are licensed so that anytime there is external aggression, they must be able to rise up to defend themselves.” Ortom had said

He said the vigilantes would have the full support of the state government with logistics as provided in the law, adding that the recruitment of personnel would be carried out in the 23 local government areas of the state.

Our source revealed that an APC governor of a Northwestern state that has been in the news recently for the spate of students kidnapping besetting his state is spear heading the opposition against Ortom and championing the anti Ortom security plans.

The dependable source revealed that the Governor zoomed out of his state on Saturday for Abuja at the heat of an APC primary election crises in his state, to seek audience with the president alongside some other APC governors.

The plans of the governors according to our source is to persuade president Buhari to move against Ortom by making him see that Ortom is in breach of the constitutional with his plans to arm vigilantes across the Benue state.

The fear, according to our source is that the Benue governor’s security arrangements will be duplicated and spread to other states if allowed to stand.

“ the fear of the governors is that if Governor Ortom is allowed to have his way other state will sooner than later follow suit and this would be a disaster for the federal government and the security architecture in the country as it would lead to an uncontrolled arms proliferation across the country”

This country na cruise

➡ Afterall there is already
Amotekun.

➡ Muslim north like Kano
formed Hisbah who only specializes
in breaking beer bottles.

➡ 'Northern' governors have never
condemned fulani killings in Benue but are
angry the Benue people want to defend
themselves.

This Is the Era of All for One and not One For All.
Today the enemies before you is after the life of another,
We Need To Fight A Good Fight.

Watch closely those who are opposing governor Ortom. They claim it will lead to proliferation of firearms in the country but they are not talking about the AK-47 wielding herdsmen invading people's farm, killing, kidnapping, maiming and sacking them from their ancestral lands.

Benue state is a gateway to the south and if Governor Ortom can set up this outfit it will deal a massive blow to the expansion agenda of the herdsmen aka bandits aka boko haram aka APC armed wing. I call on all the southern governors to support this initiative. Nigeria has no president, don't allow the shadowy "presidency" determine your fate.

.

We have many cows on the leading seats... See this one day oppose security in Kano, in fact we need to check you well if you are not the one sponsoring this cursed animals called bandits...

Which Constitution are these idiots protecting? Does Nigeria have a working Constitution? If yes, does it allow our borders to be open for the influx of strange marauders? When the federal government was canvassing for 100billion to be given to Myetti Allah to buy arms and help the military in cubing the crime of kidnapping, was it constitutional?

You are preventing proliferation of arms while the bandits, herdsmen and Bokoharam are flaunting arms, taking pictures with northern governors and Muslim clerics and the military does nothing about it
Why are cows still in rulership of this country?

Gov Orthom, do as it pleases you for God is with you. Where were the military when assassination attempt was carried against you?

Seems the northern governors are part of the insecurity ravaging the entire north. Wetin concern me sef.

Imagine....anyway, I no blame them. People like us warned Benue people in 2015 when they were shouting Sai Baba. Something tells me that there is no region that shouted Sai Baba that would not drink the dredges of God's wrath through Fulani onslaught. Even to defend yourself is impossible with the Fula constitution. Next time, all of una go get small sense. In fact, I even doubt you people will ever get sense until you're all driven out of your ancestral land from Birni Kebbi to Badagary.

Terrorists masquerading as leaders.

Gov otorm is justified in doing what he's doing since the security agencies have failed (refused) to protect his people from the onslaught of the Fulani herdsmen/terrorists. This is exactly how they fought against the formation of amotekun. Yet, you never hear them make a case for their terrorist brothers to lay down their arms.

This is all the proof we need to show that the governors are in support of the insecurity in the country.

These bastards have Hisbah why can't other states have their own too

What is the business of these governors in the matter of a Chief Securty Officer of his State deciding how best to provide security to his people within the ambit of the constitution of the accursed republic?

What are their fears? If other regions have vigilantes, why is Benue choosing to create one a headache for the same Arewa Governors whose Christian populations and minority tribes are under constant harassment from terrors groups set up and financed by them?

This is shocking to say the least. I wish Ortom posses the heart of MNK that defies these children of Iblis and Shaytan.

Ortom should not be intimidated. He should send is ADC away and get his tribes men to provide his security lest, the Fulanis use the Federal forces to destroy him.

All Benue indigenes and the entire people of MB should rally round the Governor at this time.

We the Children of Light and Truth from the SE support Ortom. I hope the Children of the Fallen Spirit will not condemn him as they known to do.

Hisbah is not against constitution, right? These bums don't even have the intelligence to cover their asses.

Simply call on ESN

The much reason they hated Mazi Nnamdi kanu with passion he's always ahead of their plans

Then let the presidency wake up and play her own part of ensuring her citizens are protected

This only shows who the sponsors of the herdsmen are. Stupid northern governors. For the first time Ortom is being a real guardian of his state. Kudos to him.

They are no longer hiding their evil Jihad agenda.

If you don't have a gun in Nigeria, you are on your own. Even if na awka made. If you no sabi shoot buy pumping so that if you release one e go catch at least one target.

Vision4God:
Then let the presidency wake up and play her own part of ensuring her citizens are protected
