NIGERIA - Two governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have clashed over New Year attacks by suspected killer herdsmen in Benue State.
"...we know where they are. As I talk to you, they are in Tongua in Awe Local Government in Nasarawa State. That is where these people are camped and are coming to attack people."
■ Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State
"I’m really taken back by this statement. It is most unfortunate. I will like to use this opportunity to say that there is nothing like that whatsoever.
If anything, the Tonga that Ortom is talking about in Awe Local Government is now the safe haven for displaced persons....
"It is the implementation of the anti-grazing law in Benue that has caused the problem and now Nasarawa State is being infected by the problem notwithstanding that we are being our brothers’ keepers and good neighbours."
■ Governor Tanko Al-Makura of Nasarawa State
