By JOHN ONAH, Abuja-
Igede Youths Council (IYC) on Sunday condemned in strong term the attempt by unknown gunmen to assassinate the life of the Governor of Benue State, Dr. Samuel Ortom.
The Council therefore call on the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Mohammadu Buhari to, as a matter of urgency rise up to the current rising wave of insecurity in the country.
“There is no better time to put to work in total practicality his saying that he is for everybody and nobody”.
“We call on the security agencies to justify the huge investment of government on their trainings by getting to the root of the assassination attempt on the life of Gov. Samuel Ortom brilliantly”. The Council said.
Açcording to a statement signed by the president and the publicity Secretary, Andyson Egbodo and Ogbu Hardy Owulo, Igede Youth Council alongside the Tiv Youth Organization and Idoma National Youth Forum would continue to stand by the position of Benue people as spelt in the anti grazing law of the State.
