Igbo Have Qualities To Lead Nigeria, Says Ortom 

The Governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom, has stated that the Igbo people have what it takes to lead Nigeria if they are given the opportunity.

Ortom said the Igbo PDP Forum paid him a courtesy visit at Government House, Makurdi.

He stated that Igbos are very passionate about the socio-economic and political development of the country and Benue State as they have always added value anywhere they go.

Governor Ortom has backed calls for a southern president of Igbo descent.

“The Igbos are accommodating and hard-working. They are a group that can live with other ethnic groups and not like those that are killing my people and they want me to keep quiet. 

"I will never keep quiet concerning incessant attacks on my people by herdsmen until the authorities do the right thing,” the governor stated.

“I will continue to speak against injustice. No one can threaten my senatorial ticket. A man can get nothing except what is given to him by God.”
