Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue state on Thursday said there are no cattle routes in the state.

Ortom, in a statement made available to newsmen in Makurdi by his Special Adviser on Media and ICT, Tahav Agerzua, noted that he spoke at NKST Church in Buruku, while interacting with officials of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) on re-election campaign in the local government area.

The governor, according to the statement, was reacting to the televised comments on President Muhammadu Buhari on the matter.

He said the president’s overall performance was shameful and a confirmation of what his wife stated that having lost control, a cabal had taken charge.


The statement further indicated that even if there were such routes which were gazetted he would have de-gazetted them as the current population of the state had made such routes untenable.

“Governor Ortom stated that at the time such routes were contemplated in the sixties, the entire population of the country was about 40 million while the current population is about 200 million thereby foreclosing the possibility of such routes.

“He stated that he battled and overcame financial, social vices as well as security challenges during his first term which impacted negatively on his performance adding that if given a second mandate the end of his administration would be better than his rough beginning,” the statement added.

Whenever it comes to cattle Buhari turns to an orator, you will see him mentioning ECOWAS charter this and that. But when it comes to economy, security he starts stammering kwaraption

Ortom has been cured of Zombiesm.

Be there shouting herdsmen, cattle route, Fulani burnt bush or harvested rice etc, while your opponent are there campaigning.

The route that was created before the birth of Buhari

Cattle route in the 21st century. God help this country. Forgive our sins come February 16th

Tell the lifeless thing

Nigeria sorry

Ortom would have been a better governor if he never was in APC.

Some things he could have done, he didn't do it, so that he won't unsettle his then party.

Good one from Ortom

but the last time i read d book of genesis in my.bible, it was man who had dominion over animals
am suprised that animals want to take over dominion...
its well

Nice one Ortom, the APC jazz don clear from ur eyes

The Sudanese pig of a president is worst than the devil. Stu...pid terrorist president always shielding herdsmen from all their atrocities.

I'm amazed at the people who keep echoing buhari till 2023..

Oh Lord, forgive us our trespasses and let this cup pass over us Feb 16.

I don't understand Buhari's obsession with cattle and crude oil.

Ortom now has balls and that's the way to go. Speak tough and act tough. No square metre of land must be given to terrorist Fulani herdsmen.

Gbam.....

Because Buhari is a thief and a terrorist

There are no cattle routes(whatevadafuckthatmeans) in any part of Nigeria.. It's time to send this senile old bigot called Buhari back to his primitive enclave..Nigeria can never go forward with this bumbling clown.

Chai... Cattle routes in this 21st century? We are still living in the 30s seriously

Buhari is operating in the 70s and 80s era and that is why if he wins the election,the herdsmen problem would start again.we have to see that such things stop by voting him out!
its clear now than ever!
what a pity.it must have shocked donald trump about the mass incompetence of pmb in facts& figures.its horrible
