Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, on Monday, said the insecurity situation in Nigeria has reached its peak with the threat by bandits to kidnap the President, adding that there was no government in the Country.
The governor, who briefed journalists in Makurdi, further decried the insecurity in the country, saying that the President Muhammadu Buhari administration had left Nigerians digging their graves.
He said: “Things are getting worse. You know I said this before I travelled out, that very soon, with the manner bandits are operating without proactive steps from the Federal Government, they will soon enter Aso Rock.
“You have seen happenings in the country; the Kuje prison break and the threat to kidnap the President. God forbid, but this is what I saw long time ago.
“I feel pains that this is happening in my generation. There is no government in Nigeria today. Those who are surrounding the President are criminals.
“Mr President, you are not doing well, you have violated the oath of office you took, Nigerians are in pains, they are suffering, the socio economic lives of the people have gone down the abyss. You have left us digging our graves, we need a true change, not the change from top to bottom you promised us in 2015.”
The governor, who explained the reasons he visited United Kingdom and the United States of America during his two weeks’ vacation, said it was to correct the wrong narratives of the Federal Government that the herders attacks on Benue was beyond climate change but as an occupation force.
