insecurity<\/a> and economic situation in the country saying he stands with the Bishop and would have said similar thing if called to address the audience.<\/p>\nThe Governor, in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, CPS, Terver Akase noted that the country was practicing democracy which had no room for repression and dictatorship.<\/p>\n
Quoting the Governor the CPS said, \u201cGovernor Ortom states that the country\u2019s Constitution guarantees the freedom of speech to all citizens, unlike a military regime which suppresses the right of the people to voice their opinions on challenges facing their country.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe says Bishop Kukah is one Nigerian who is selfless and speaks his mind frankly on national issues calling on the government to ensure justice, the rule of law and equity for all.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Governor wonders why the Presidency has chosen to politicize the views of Bishop Kukah when all the issues he highlighted in his address were facts about the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe says Kukah was right when he stated that nepotism has been elevated above federal character by the present administration. He further agrees with the Bishop that Christians across the country are targets of elimination and thousands have already fallen to the sword of jihadist supremacists.<\/p>\n
\u201cGovernor Ortom states that Kukah is not to blame for the ranking of Nigeria as the 8th least peaceful country in Africa and the rating of killer herdsmen as the 4th deadliest terror group in the world by the Global Terrorism Index.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe expects the Presidency to rather be worried that Nigeria is ranked as the most terrorised nation in Africa with an average of over 2,000 deaths per year on account of terrorism.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe emphasizes that the combative approach the Presidency has adopted in engaging citizens on issues will not solve the problems confronting the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cGovernor Ortom says Bishop Kukah is not the first Nigerian to address a foreign audience on the security situation in the country. He recalled that in February, 2015 President Buhari was at the time the candidate of All Progressives Congress, APC, when he delivered a speech at Chatham House in London, where he stated that \u201cBoko Haram has sadly put Nigeria on the terrorism map, killing more than 13,000 of our nationals.\u201d The President went on to announce to the world on that occasion that apart from the civil war era, Nigeria had never been more insecure in the country\u2019s history.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Governor states that if a man who was seeking to govern the country could reel out such scary statistics, why will his aides now launch media attacks on a clergyman who is only advocating peace and is drawing the attention of the global community to the plight of helpless Nigerians.<\/p>\n
\u201cGovernor Ortom once again tasks the Federal Government to arrest and prosecute members of armed Fulani groups for killing innocent Nigerians, the same way it effected the arrest of the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, and Yoruba nation agitator, Sunday Igboho to prove critics wrong that its fight against terrorism and other crimes is unbiased.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe says the President may not be collecting proceeds from corrupt deals under his administration and may even not be aware that such shady deals exist, but some of his aides are deeply involved in corrupt practices and are denying Nigerians of the services and projects meant to alleviate poverty and hunger in the land.<\/p>\n
\u201cGovernor Ortom maintains that the President may also not be aware that Nigerians are facing harsh economic conditions and many are being killed by bandits, herdsmen and other terrorists because some of the persons saddled with the responsibility of telling him the truth have refused to do so.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe urges the Presidency to listen to the voices of reason and resist the temptation to whip into silence those who genuinely love the country and are offering solutions to its challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
