Ortom: Why I Refused To Welcome Buhari In Lafia, Nasarawa" by owoicho13(m): 2:04pm On Feb 07, 2018 |
Benue State governor, Samuel Ortom, has explained why he did not go to neighboruing Nasarawa State to welcome President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday. Many critics were wondering why Ortom failed to welcome the president, who doubles as his party leader at the event but rather sent his deputy, Benson Abounu to represent him. Ortom in a swift reaction said he could not leave his people who were being killed by the marauding herdsmen to welcome the president, hence his reason to send his deputy to represent him. He said, “I was invited by my colleague from Nasarawa state over the visit of the President. As a mark of honour and respect for his office and that of the president, I have sent my deputy to represent me because I cannot leave the state when my people are being killed.” https://www.benuepress.com/2018/02/gov-ortom-reveals-why-he-refuse-to-welcome-buhari-in-lafia/ 196 Likes 21 Shares

Great reason! That is what a true leader does. Not like Buhari that will be flying upandan to other countries when his is on fire. Buhari doesn't deserve your welcome He's as useless as a used sanitary pad. 492 Likes 32 Shares |

Nice reply Only an insensitive governor would leave his distressed household to welcome an insensitive and callous president that is visiting a neighbouring state. 279 Likes 17 Shares |

Initially Ortom was trying to be diplomatic n play de good boy until buhari n his fulani bros put poo in his mouth. Now he is trying to man up n show muscle. I dnt blame him. A lesson to all fulani ass-lickers. They dnt give a damn about you. 336 Likes 24 Shares |

Now this is the Benue people I know. Lion hearted and bold people. The Igbos(plus our brothers in the SS), Ijaws, and Benue(Tiv, Egede, Gboko, etc) are the formidable allies the rest of Nigeria remain scared of. The other ones from the West...lols. 127 Likes 9 Shares |

Splendid! It's good this governor has finally learnt how to separate politics from real governance. I remember how he was always praising Buhari back then and been very careful with his utterance when commenting about the murderous activities of the herdsmen, but he has seen that Buhari is not "worth" the respect. So he has began to talk tough, and rightly so. 96 Likes 4 Shares |

Buhari visited Nasarawa to commiserate
with cow owners over the death of 40
cows..Regrettably, he was unable to visit
Benue where the terrorist, fulani
herdsmen killed 73 Nigerians. If by
now,you still don't know where the
priority of this government lies, then your
mumu is irredeemable. 82 Likes 2 Shares |

Ortom was one of the worst performing Governors until the killings happened! Now his sins has been forgiven and a 2nd term looks like a sure banker. Buhari's stvpidity has been to the advantage of a lot of people. if they had handled the killings with tact, Ortom wouldn't have had the kind of support he does from his people. My advice to Benue people is to vote Buhari and Ortom out together. They are two sides to a bad coin. 87 Likes 4 Shares |

APC is losing Benue (if Ortom decamps), Kano and Kogi. Those supported by Buhari won elections in 2015. In 2019, those supported by Buhari would lose. 21 Likes 1 Share |

By his action, he has directly won the heart of his people. Second term is sanctioned. After empowering his people with wheelbarrow, never thought this dude had the balls. By sending his Deputy, it clearly shows the Daura man has lost it completely. This is an open challenge against the Daura man and there is no way he is winning over Ortom and Benue people. Kudos to the Governor. I think he sent the right message! 33 Likes 2 Shares |
