He said, “One thing I will tell you is that the most outspoken critic of this policy, who is the governor of Benue State, is not invited and is not a part of it (Ruga). “One thing I can tell you is that Benue is absolutely absent from this. But the thing is that the nature of politics in that place; people have used this ethnicity to get to power. They need it in order to stay in power because they have no answers to the problem of their people.”DOWNLOAD THE PUNCH NEWS APP NOW ON
