Ortom Apologises Over ‘anti-Fulani’ Comments

Ortom Benue

Governor Ortom

Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, on Wednesday, apologised to Nigerians over his comments which were viewed as anti-Fulani.

But speaking when the G-5 governors visited Bauchi State governor, Bala Mohammed, on Wednesday at the Ramat House, Ortom said he was sorry for all who felt offended by his comments.

Ortom, who was asked by journalists after their meeting in Bauchi if he still stood by his comments, said: “That was not what I meant when I was captured saying that. But all the same, I know that it would amount to logical fallacy if people had taken it the way I did.

“But I want to say to those who were offended by my remarks, I didn’t mean that, I’m sorry about it.”
