Some middle-belt leaders have denounced Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State over “his persistent attacks on President Muhammadu Buhari.”   

The group, under the auspices of the Middle Belt Conscience Guard (MBCG), at a press conference on Tuesday in Abuja, described Ortom’s assaults on President Buhari and herders as “uncomplimentary, satanic and a grand plot to orchestrate widespread public violence in Nigeria.”

In his address, Alex Samuel, the Secretary of MBCG’s Board of Trustees, accused Ortom of capitalizing on the slightest opportunity to criticise Buhari whereas in his state “people die daily of hardship and starvation.”

According to him, “while President Buhari has entrenched durable peace between farmers and herders, Ortom continues to fuel hatred amongst the people due to political benefits from the crisis created using Fulani herdsmen.”
