Professor David Iornem, a Chieftain of
the All progressives Congress, APC, has
warned that people of Benue State may
vote against President Buhari in 2019.
Iornem said that State may be compelled to
vote against Buhari in 2019 unless
sufficient efforts are made to resolve the
crisis between Fulani herdsmen and farmers
which had led to the loss of several lives in
Benue State.
Speaking with The Sun, the former Senator
stressed that the president’s action hasdso
far shown that he is in favour of certain
group.
According to Iornem, “Nobody is talking
about APC or any party at the moment in
the state. If you belong to any party, you are
a son of a farmer, you belong to a village
that is being attacked.
“It has nothing to do with APC. But the
President is the one that will represent APC,
he is an individual. If he allows the situation
to continue like this, we may not vote
against APC but we will vote against
Buhari.
“If they think that because they are in
power they can manipulate votes let the
election come. Unless Buhari does
something to significantly demonstrate that
he is for justice we will not stand with him
during election. At the moment there is no
indication that he is for justice, he is
favouring a certain group. Unfortunately the
group is his tribe.”
Iornem had earlier alleged that Buhari was
plotting to handover Benue State to Fulani
herdsmen.
