Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, and his Bauchi State counterpart, Bala Mohammed, on Tuesday, made peace and settled their differences over their face-off on the herdsmen crisis rocking the country.
Mohammed had defended Fulani herdsmen wielding AK-47 rifles, saying they do so for self-protection while Ortom lambasted him for allegedly supporting criminality and labeled him a “terrorist governor”.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had intervened into the altercation between the two governors who incidentally belonged to the party.
However, Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, and his Adamawa State counterpart, Ahmadu Fintiri, met with the two governors on Tuesday in Port Harcourt, where they both reconciled.
Ortom and Mohammed were seen embracing each other after the closed door meeting at Wike’s private residence in Port Harcourt.
