A former Governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom, has dismissed claims that he hated the late ex-President Muhammadu Buhari over his government’s handling of the security in the North Central state.
The chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party stated this on Monday during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today. Ortom stated that he only criticised Buhari’s government for not doing enough to address the security challenges in his state at the time.
The former Benue governor defended his actions, saying he had to speak out to protect his people.
