The Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, said on Tuesday President Muhammadu Buhari has not demonstrated enough seriousness in the efforts at tackling the country’s insecurity.
Ortom, who addressed journalists when he visited an Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camp in the state, declared that there is no government in Nigeria presently.
He added that governance structure has collapsed completely in the country.
The governor was reacting to the killing of seven persons by suspected Fulani herdsmen in the state.
He said the unabated killing of Nigerians in many parts of the country had shown that there is no government at the centre in Nigeria.
Ortom said: It is an unfortunate development that what is happening, if the federal government had taken proactive steps, today we would not be where we are.
In the last two weeks, we have buried over 70 persons in this local government alone.
This is an unfortunate development and this is not acceptable. The federal government has refused to take proactive steps to arrest this ugly situation that we are witnessing.
