Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, on Thursday, accused the presidency of placing cows above human lives. Shehu said, “Instead, Ortom stubbornly refused to engage with the detailed, holistic approach clearly spelt out by the federal government. “The Presidency’s statement is a reckless stab by agents of genocide against the Benue people by blaming the victims. “Between 2015 and this year, Governor Ortom has constantly held security meetings and gathered intelligence to support security agencies operating in the state. “It is therefore laughable when Shehu ignorantly tries to whip up an unfounded lie against the Governor,” the statement read in parts.
