The Governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom, said Igbo people have the potential to rule Nigeria if given the opportunity.
According to Ortom, the Igbos are peaceful, stressing that they have the ability to live with other ethnic groups in the country.
He said this on Wednesday, in Markudi Benue capital when Igbo PDP Forum paid him a courtesy visit.
“The Igbo are accommodating and hard working. They are a group that can live with other ethnic groups and not like those that are killing my people and they want me to keep quiet.
He vowed to continue speaking to authority on the incessant attacks on Benue people by suspected armed herdsmen.
“I will never keep quiet concerning incessant attacks on my people by herdsmen until the authorities do the right thing. I will continue to speak against injustice,” he said.
