Senior Special Assistant to President Buhari on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, has asked Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue state to stop blaming President Buhari for the “mess his ineptitude has put Benue state indigenes.”
In a recent interview with Arise Television, Governor Ortom had said the All Progressive Congress (APC) has ruined Nigeria and that citizens regret voting Buhari into power.On the allegations of non-payment of Benue workers’ salaries, Ortom had said he inherited over N70 billion arrears of pensions, salaries, and gratuities from his predecessor and that despite that, he is trying his best.
Reacting to Ortom’s comments, Shehu in a statement released, said there are two types of politicians, those who offer solutions to challenges facing the country and those that offer excuses “and instead blame others for problems they have either not solved or have themselves created”.

He stated that Governor Ortom is an example of the second class of politicians who blame others for challenges. According to him, Governor Ortom “inherited unpaid salaries and pension arrears” and rather than find a way to raise funds to pay them, “he has blamed the President”.
Shehu said since Ortom claimed his predecessors created the arrears, it was his business to prove that he was better by paying salaries promptly.
