Tiv People Not Happy With You – Senator Akume Tells President Buhari

Mr. George Akume, the former Governor of Benue State and a serving Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,has revealed to President Muhammadu Buhari that his people are not happy with him for his lukewarm reaction and handling of the killing of his kinsmen in the state.

Akume reminded President Buhari that Benue people overwhelmingly voted for him in 2015 despite the fact the then Senate President, David Mark, who is a member of the PDP hailed from the state.

He therefore called on Mr. President to aid and see to the end of the killings of his citizens in the state.

He added, “Your Excellency, you could recall that Senator David Mark was Senate President while Suswam was the Chief Security of the State, yet the Tiv people voted for you in 2015.

“We have no federal project in Benue State, Ortom does not make law, Benue People made the law, JS Tarka fought for the unity of our country Nigeria, Mr. President the Tiv people are not happy about your reaction towards the killing of Tiv farmers by Fulani herdsman.”
