Samuel Ortom, Governor of Benue State, has rated the All Progress Party (APC) led administration under President Muhammadu Buhari as worse than military governments in the history of Nigeria.
Governor Ortom said this while addressing journalists at the Government House, Makurdi, on Monday.
According to the governor, there has been a lot of religious and ethnic crises under the present administration and accused the federal government of deceiving Nigerians.
“I have been privileged to read the history of Nigeria and that of those who have been destroying us including the military.
“Usually, we say that the worst democratic government is better than the military government.
“That is what we used to say, but for the purpose of APC-led government, I want to say that the worst military government we have had in Nigeria is better than this particular government led by APC,” he said.
Governor Ortom had on several occasions called out the federal government on pressing insecurity issues in Benue when he once accused the federal government of supporting and sponsoring insecurity in Benue state.
