Samuel Ortom, Governor of Benue State, on Thursday, explained the reason for his trip to the United States of America, IgbereTV reports
Reports had emerged that the governor reported President Muhammadu Buhari to the US government over his alleged punitive neglect of existential crises bedeviling the country.
Speaking in an interview, Ortom said his meeting with officials of the State Department in Washington DC was not meant to denigrate Nigeria as a sovereign country.
He noted that he reported his own version of the reality based on what was happening in the country.
He added that he presented the traumatized Nigerian victims’ side of the story after discovering that wrong narratives were being circulated across the globe by the Nigerian government to shield itself from complicity
