Fulani Want To Takeover Nigeria, I Have The Document – Gov Ortom Insists

The objective of Fulani herders in Nigeria, according to Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State, is to conquer the entire country.

The Governor stated he has evidence to back up his accusations in an interview with BBC pidgin over the weekend.

The Fulani Nationality Movement, which claimed responsibility for his recent attack, said that Nigeria is their sole country, according to him.

He said, “Fulani Nationality Movement, FUNAM were the people who attempted to kill me recently. They said Nigeria is the only country that belongs to them. It is written and I have the document.

“I have sent copy of the document to the president, police, DSS. The FUNAM said they wanted this revolution in 1800 but could not achieve it through Usman Danfodio.

“They claimed that they have the power, money and all it takes to achieve it”.

Ortom, who has been at odds with the presidency over his criticism of President Muhammadu Buhari’s incapacity to address the country’s security concerns, lamented that, like Afghanistan and other fighting places around the world, terrorism is beginning to take over the country.

“The terrorism that we used to hear in far away countries like Afghanistan Iraq and other warring countries has surfaced in Nigeria.

“And as it is, it seems the presidency is in support of what is happening because it is not saying anything.

“Like I always say, if the Federal Government has the power to stop secessionists like Nnamdi Kanu and Sunday Igboho then they should have the power to stop banditry in the country too.

“They call the attackers unknown gunmen but for me, I know that they are Fulani people coming to kill us. And the presidency is involved in this agenda.

“The Fulani people have claimed that they want to capture the entire country”, he added.
