Attempt On Governor Ortom’s Life A Shock And Rude Awakening – NGF

The Nigeria Governor’s Forum (NGF) says the news of the broad
daylight attempt to cut short the life of the Governor of Benue
State, Dr. Samuel Ortom, is shocking and a rude awakening.

The NGF in a statement on Sunday empathized with the governor
and the people of Benue State on the sad, cowardly, and wicked
plan.

Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti state who is also Chairman of
the NGF vehemently condemned the act in its entirety.

In his communique on behalf of the forum, Fayemi said all hands
must be on deck to uncover the identities of those involved in this
heinous crime.

“The NGF wishes to state categorically that the attempt to make
Benue State ungovernable is unacceptable and will fail
woefully.

“Only recently the brother of one of the former governors of the
state was mowed down in cold blood. This dishonourable and shameful
act of resorting to violence, for whatever reason, to eliminate
citizens of Benue State by brutal means must not continue.

“The NGF as a platform for all the 36 Governors will continue to
encourage its members to stand firm in the service of their people
regardless of the evil machinations of those who do not wish
Nigeria well.

“Evil will not be allowed to triumph over good, not in Benue and
not anywhere in this country,” the statement partly read.

The NGF chairman further noted that while all governors will
continue to pray for Governor Ortom, the attention of all evildoers
must be drawn to the fact that not only will they continue to fail
in their wicked acts, but they will also definitely be traced and
punished for their crimes, no matter how long it takes.

Governor Fayemi reiterated that the NGF prays for Governor Ortom
and wishes him long life as his safety and that of all the people
of Benue State continue to be paramount to the NGF.
