Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State accused President Muhammadu Buhari of neglecting his state considering various benefit that the citizens of his state have not yet noticed in his administration. Ortom's accusation was made in his remark shortly after signing the states amended grazing bill into law at the government house in makurdi. He stated that even the party members are leaving his party APC for PDP as they did not see any changing-impact In his government which he added "Everyday, even yesterday APC members in the house of assembly have decamped to PDP because the impact is not there. He talked about the economy and the security bad situation which he continues as "The pains are too much, the economy is In bad shape, the security is in bad shape, everything is in bad shape. " He also stated that since his barred from seeing the president, the only source he was able to communicate the truth which he had told him in the past and would continue to tell him is through the media. In addition, "The 5000 bags of rice showcased in a pyramid to alert that the Buhari administration was in active stage about the country did not depict reality," he added. Comrade Austin Agada, the state Chairman-elect, APC, said the allegations by the governor against President Buhari’s administration and his person could be best described, “as someone not in tune with the reality of what is on ground.” “It would be on record that the president created more programmes and projects in Benue than the governor himself did. I challenge a pictorial to this; on his achievement and that of Buhari in Benue. “As we speak, the president has over 40 projects only in Benue and about three projects he (the governor) has done in over six years of his administration,” he said. Agada further said the Buhari-led administration had tackled corruption in the country better than anyone else, stressing, “How would you say the president is not fighting corruption when the president’s SGF was axed from office? “ He added that the president has zero-tolerance for corruption except that a lot of bottlenecks had not allowed him to move as fast as he would want to because of the democratic system in operation.
