Samuel Ortom, the outgoing governor of Benue State, has responded to the president over the security situation in the state, saying that President Muhammadu Buhari had approved of the unrelenting killings taking place there.
Additionally, he alleged that the president starved the state of funding and rigged the state’s most recent elections in favour of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Ortom, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who is billed to leave office next month stated this in a statement released on Thursday in Makurdi, the state capital, by his chief press secretary, Nathaniel Ikyur.
