He said, comments from key actors of the President Muhammadu Buhari led administration and the president’s body language, actions and inactions had shown a clear case of unwillingness to ending the security situation in the state.

“Under the APC, there’s no justice for Benue as exemplified by no clear indication by the party’s controlled federal government to addressing the challenges facing the state spiraled by the persecution of His Excellency, Samuel Ortom, the Governor.” He stressed.

“I am aware of the promises made to me by the party in the state. However, I wish to state unequivocally that I cannot trade my life and conscience as well as the future of the state including the fate of thousands of Internally Displaced Persons, IDPs, for material things.”

The former image maker of the party maintained that he has confidence in the ability and the unwavering determination of His Excellency, Samuel Ortom, to giving leadership direction to the actualization of the yearnings and aspirations of the people of the state saying he will follow the Governor wherever he goes.

He thanked the leadership of the party in the state for the opportunity he was given to serve.
