“To hell with Atiku and anyone supporting him. They should go and tell him. You want me to be slave for a Fulani. It’s better I die than support Atiku. Because anybody supporting him is an enemy of Benue.He said

“My people are being attacked killed on a daily basis and you want me to be quiet.

“My tenure ends in may and you can do what ever you want if you think you have the powers. I have written my will. When I gave it to my wife, she cried all night.

If I die at 62, many of my mates have gone long time ago and If I die today, I am a fulfilled person but let it be recorded that I died resisting the invasion and killing of my people.

“I will never support a Fulani man to become president. If there is another person who is ready to work with me and ensure the security of my people, I will work with him,” Ortom said.
