Benue State Governor Samuel Ortom has apologised to Nigerians over comment he made profiling and denigrating Fulani ethnic group.
Ortom also lashed out at the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, saying he would not support a Fulani man’s Presidential aspiration.
He was reacting to the incessant killings in his state by armed herders.
Fielding questions from journalists in Bauchi on Wednesday during a meeting of his G-5 Integrity Group with Bauchi State Governor, Senator Bala Mohammed, Ortom said that those who are shocked and aggrieved by his statement should not feel offended.
