Benue State Zone B Youth Alliance has revealed plans by a group called ‘Benue Renaissance Group’, under the leadership of one Tardoo, to hold a press conference on Friday, 16th July, 2021 at Rockview Hotel Abuja with the ain of launching more attacks on the person and office of Governor Samuel Ortom.
According to a statement signed President, Zone B Youth Alliance, Comrade Ternenge Bendega, he said that their aim is to create a false narrative that nothing is happening in the state and eventually call for state of emergency. They are working closely with some herdsmen groups who are looking for any opportunity to visit more pain on Benue.
The statement read, “We have reliably gathered that enemies of Benue State sponsored by the leader of APC in the state have planned to hold a press conference on Friday this week (16th July, 2021) at Rockview Hotel Abuja to launch more attacks on the person and office of Governor Samuel Ortom.
“The attack-dog group assembled to sustain the media assault on Governor Ortom is called ‘Benue Renaissance Group’. It is headed by one Tardoo. He is one of the APC leader’s boys.
“An aspirant of APC called Tehimba Shijah is the one running the group. He gives them all the false information and negative narrative about Gov Ortom. The Shijah of a man joined APC not too long ago so he is doing everything to impress the leadership of the party so they can give him their ticket for 2023.
“This is the conspiracy these men have devised to cause more problems in Benue. Their aim is to create a false narrative that nothing is happening in the state and eventually call for state of emergency. They are working closely with some herdsmen groups who are looking for any opportunity to visit more pain on Benue. Shijah is a friend of a former Governor of Kano state who has promised to support him to become governor of Benue so he can support the conquest agenda of the state. He agreed.
“We want these traitors and their sponsors to know that Benue state is not up for sale! We won’t allow anyone to betray us for his personal gain. Those colluding with Fulani Jihadists to take over our land and have seen Governor Ortom as the only obstacle must know that they have all of us to contend with. They will fail again, the statement concluded.
