Benue Governor Ortom accuses Kaduna Governor El-Rufai of religious and ethnic bigotry

“El-Rufai’s attack on Governor Ortom is merely to make him look good before the Presidency. He has apparently fallen out of favour at the Villa and wants to use Governor Ortom as a launch pad back to reckoning. How has he handled his own problems in Kaduna? This is a man who has insulted almost every prominent Nigerian including the late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua and former President Olusegun Obasanjo; a man who is his former boss and one who brought him to limelight.

Although Mr Ortom did not dispute the fact that he is owing workers, he said the former FCT minister has no moral rights to counsel him on salary payment. He then advised the Kaduna State governor to focus on addressing the “numerous problems” in his state.

I'd rather have elrufai as my govnor than have ortom

Serve that shot devil some hot pepper 🌶

Ortom is always looking for a way to divert attention from his non performance, and he knows his target audience. Funny enough, most of his supporters are from the neighboring zone

If El Rufai has sacked 4000 workers, with d objective of rightsizing d pay roll, then he has my 100% support. That shows he is a leader n manager, who is not afraid to take responsibility for doing d HARD, PAINFUL, but commonsensically LOGICAL thing. Other Govs shld emulate him.

Insecurity: Ortom, El-Rufai trade words, accuse each other of failure - Punch NewspapersThe most widely read newspaper in Nigeria The problem with elrufai is crude arrogance ' and egocentrism. Whether these are qualities for leadership in 21st century is a subject for another day. Governor Ortom of Benue State, has been very consistent, to provide leadership and protect his people's interests. 🤣🤣👬👫 El-Rufai misdirected his attack to Gov Ortom of Benue State. If Gov El-Rufai and Cleric Gumi are happy over the incessant abductions in Kaduna State with appeal to FG to take N100m from CBN to settle bandits, Gov Ortom ought to be commended for speaking the bitter truth. I wonder how Ortom can accuse El-rufai of insecurity. We all know that Benue is the state where harder clash and insecurity originated. Ortom should go & do what other governors are doing to tackle insecurity not to be winning & faulting FG. Every tiar of gov't has role to play

Insecurity: El-Rufai Can’t Judge Governor, Says Ortom'El-Rufai doesn’t possess the credentials to counsel anyone on payment of salaries and the welfare of workers... Gov.Ortom to El Rufai... 'A Governor who has divided the good people of Kaduna against one another by not hiding his hatred of indigenes of the state on account of religion and ethnicity is not qualified to judge another Governor on any issue whatsoever'. Plain truth.
