Shettima
described the outcome of the 2015 general election as the watershed in
the Nigerian political history and commended Benue people for their
continuous support of Northern agenda.
He
noted that the PDP-led administration was at the verge of destroying the
basic component that bonded Nigeria, adding that Buhari’s victory saved
the country.
“Had President Buhari not win
the election in 2015, Nigeria would have gone into extinction and as it
is now, the PDP need to be proscribed.
“The North had moral duty to support Benue state following her continuous support of presidential candidates from the region,” said the NGF chairman.
He
also explained that they were in the state to celebrate with the Tiv
people for the peaceful selection of the Tor Tiv V, His Royal Majesty
Prof. James Ayatse. Shettima sympathised with Tiv people over the
incessant attacks on their communities by suspected herdsmen, adding
that the NGF would never abandon the state.
He
also noted that Benue and Kano states were only the states in the North
with a large heart to accommodate non-indigenes over the years as
exemplified in appointments and elective positions.
He
announced a donation of 100 cows as his personal contribution for the
coronation of the Tor Tiv V. Ayatse had earlier commended the NGF for
identifying with the Tiv people during their moment of sadness and joy,
adding that he cherished the Tor Tiv thrown he had ascended.
Akume
urged the NGF to support Ortom to actualize his vision and invited the
forum to attend the coronation of the fifth Tor Tiv.
On his part, Ortom commended the NGF
members for their sustained support of his proposals that led to the end
of herdsmen/farmers crisis in the state.
Vanguard
reports that the governor thanked God for the relative peace enjoyed in
the state so far and commended Shettima’s leadership quality.
Meanwhile,
Mike Okumagba, vice chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in
Warri South local government area of Delta state, has said that
Nigeria’s economy would have been worse if President Muhammadu Buhari
was not voted into power in 2015.
According to him, Buhari is God sent and his name is synonymous with discipline and accountability.
Okumagba made this known while addressing newsmen after a meeting of the APC.
