Buhari must be told he failed woefully — Governor Ortom
Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State has again called out President Muhammadu Buhari for allegedly failing to deliver on some of the promises he made during his campaigns.
Speaking at the commissioning of the headquarters of the Benue State Community Volunteer Guards, BSCVGs, in Makurdi, Ortom accused President Buhari of plunging Nigeria into so much suffering and erasing some of the gains recorded in the Goodluck Jonathan administration.
He said;
“I served under the then President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration and we all saw how Nigeria flourished under that administration. We all knew what the prices of goods and services were at the time.
“We also know what our exchange rate was at the time and what it is today. I want Nigerians to do a simple comparison and you will realise how bad it has been under this government and how Nigeria has been taken several years backwards by the Buhari government.
“The fact is that never in the history of Nigeria did we experience this kind of bad governance in the country.
“Corruption is so endemic in this government, yet people who steal chicken are thrown into prison, but people in government who are busy stealing the wealth of the people are walking free.
