Wike To FG: You Will Be Held Responsible If Ortom Is Assassinated

Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has issued a warning that the federal government would be held responsible should Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, be assassinated.

Governor Wike said that if Ortom is killed, the country could be plunged into another civil war.

The Federal Government would be held responsible if Governor Ortom is assassinated. If they kill Ortom, they should be prepared that there will be no more Nigeria. It could lead the nation to a civil war and they should be prepared to bury Nigeria.
