Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State has repealed hat no fewer than 1.5 million people are currently homeless.
Speaking with Arise TV, the governor said the alleged action of the Federal Government has made it impossible for his administration to generate Internally Generated Revenue, IGR.
He lamented that the killings have led to the spread of Internally Displaced Persons, IDPs, in the state.
According to Ortom: “My IGR is low because of the security situation in the country; I can’t raise IGR. Today, as I talk to you, over 1.5 million people are IDPs and are no longer going to farms.
“The Federal Government and COAS have sent people to kill farmers in their farmland.
“We are now in the rainy season, but farmers are no longer going to their farms, so how do I raise IGR?”
