Buhari is the worst President when it comes to security – Governor Ortom

Governor Samuel Ortom has described the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari as the worst when it comes to security issues.

 

The Benue state Governor who appeared as a guest on Channels TV’s Sunrise Daily on Tuesday August 24, criticized the President’s open grazing policy and also claimed that it is very clear that he wants to “fulanize” because he is not the first Fulani president.

 

Ortom said;

 

“Mr President is pushing me to think that what they say about him, that he has a hidden agenda in this country is true because it is very clear that he wants to fulanise but he is not the first Fulani president.

“Shagari was a Fulani President, Yar’ Adua was a Fulani President and they were the best in the history. But President Buhari is the worst President when it comes to issues of security and keeping his promises.

“Go back to 2015, what did he say, human rights issues, he talked about press freedom, about the economy, corruption, security, tell me one that Mr President has achieved.

“He has achieved some level of development in other sectors but these prominent things that are concerns to Nigerians and we are all worried about.. tell me when Mr President has come out to address them. Is it corruption, we are worse in the history of this country”.

 

Ortom who stated that he believes that open grazing will only worsen insecurity, added that it is disappointing that despite the fact that most states have agreed that ranching is a better way to go in an attempt to resolve the crisis, the President has maintained his stance on open grazing.

 

He added;

 

“If Mr President respects the law, the Land Use Act gives governors the power to preside over land administration on behalf of the people that they govern.

“So it is amazing and I am surprise to hear this coming from Mr President as if he doesn’t have an Attorney General, or Lawyers around him to advise him. I think Mr President was misquoted or he did it out of error. He should come out to apologise to Nigerians.”
