Gov. Ortom: I can receive any Presidential candidate irrespective of party affiliation


The Governor of Benue State Samuel Ortom said as a politician that he will welcome any Presidential candidate irrespective of party affiliation.

Recall Ortom, Governor wike and other PDP governors met with LP Presidential candidate in Port Harcourt on Monday night.
He said challenges facing the country now transcended partisan politics. 

He said: "At the end, the solution to the challenges of Nigeria is what matters. Where we are today calls for all hands to be on deck.

"I am free to receive any candidate who comes visiting or seeking audience with me. I cannot say no when such request comes.

Speaking on that state of security in Benue State and the state security outfit he recently inaugurated, he had written to the presidency for AK 47 licence for the state security outfit.

He said: "We will continue to fight for our right. We will not rest.

"Let me advise our people to embrace group farming because, while some of them will be cropping, others should watch.

"The recent launch of the volunteer guards was meant to protect the state and not to intimidate anyone. Criminals should know that the security architecture of the state will catch up with them.

"Self-defence is the first law of nature. We must defend ourselves. I have made application to the FG for licence to own AK47. We have decided to take our destinies in our hand to want peace. We want to remain the food basket of the nation.

“We shall fight to survive. We are ready to spill the last pint of our blood to protect our lands,” Ortom said.

"The FG has demonstrated that they lack capacity to safeguard the country.

"Every Benue son and daughter should fight for the soul of the state. No one can come from anywhere to protect you. There is an agenda for ethnic cleansing and domination,"

Ortom concluded.
