“Instead of responding to the burning issues of national interest raised by the Benue State Governor, the Presidency, through the loud-mouthed and unprofessional Garba Shehu elected to attack the person of the Governor. “Why has the Presidency not countered Governor Ortom that under Buhari, Nigerians are more divided than at any other time in the history of the country with nepotism elevated and the people told to go to hell? Why has the Presidency not proven the Benue State Governor wrong on his statement that it accords preference to cattle over human life?
“It is crystal clear that the Buhari administration has failed and is now in desperate need of whom to blame for its self-inflicted woes. The speed with which it descends on Nigerians who dare to speak out against its evil agenda amounts to the kicks of a dying horse.
