Tension is brewing in Benue State after news of President Muhammadu Buhari’s town-hall with the Nigerian community in Dubai, on April 9, filtered in that he hinted about the Federal Government’s plan to reintroduce grazing routes in the country.
Buhari also said that his differences with Governor Samuel Ortom on the matter compelled the Benue governor to leave the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC. To the people, the resolve of the Federal Government to return grazing routes in the country was not only out of tune with the realities on ground, it would also run at variance with the state’s subsisting law which, to a large extent, has stemmed the spate of herdsmen and farmers’ bloody clashes that have claimed thousands of lives in Benue.
“President Buhari also referred to the problem against all visible evidence as herders/farmers clashes. Yet, curiously, he found it expedient to harp on a solution that appeals to herdsmen without any concern for the farmers’ plight. “Perhaps APC was used as a platform to intimidate Ortom and coerce him into submission. But Ortom chose to risk his political career and even his life by jumping to the other party where his fate was unknown.
