The Benue State Governor further stated that the attack on the IDP camp in Abegana, where seven persons were killed, should make President Muhammadu Buhari convey security summit to discuss insecurity in the country.
Ortom said, "We are being overstretched and the people are fed up. We all cast our votes for President Buhari. He must not continue to be aloof. He must tell us where we are going in this country. The body language of the President shows that he is the President of the Fulani people.ÔÇØ
