PHOTO: Governor Wike takes swipe at Ortom over killings in Benue state, saying 'He has lost Control and FG must declare a state of emergency in the state'

Following the continued killings and reprisal attacks from alleged farmers and herdsmen for some time now, in Benue state, the Governor of Rivers State Wike, has called for a state of emergency in the state...
The Governor, while entertaining some officials of the University of Port-harcourt, blast the Federal Government on their ‘two face’ style of handling serious security issues/situations in the country...saying there must be state of emergency declared in Benue state,given the magnitude of killings in that state...He said:

“When there was no problem in Port Harcourt, they were conspiring on how to declare a state of emergency, now that the time for a state of emergency has come, it should be declared in Benue state because the governor has lost control.
“Look at how people are being killed. So if you are from Benue, sorry, I’m calling for a state of emergency,”
His Benue counterpart on the other hand, Governor Ortom, has expressed his disappointment and shock at the statement of the Rivers State Governor, saying
“I pray for my colleague in Rivers state who, instead of sympathizing with me has chosen to call that Benue state should be declared a state of emergency when the killings in Rivers is more than what is happening here.”
...But why has there not been a lasting solution to what ever it is, that is the problem...state of Emergency will not solve anything, if the people themselves do no want peace...
