Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State has Implored the Federal Government to support ranching to tackle insecurity currently rocking the nation.
Ortom who made the call at the JS Tarka Stadium, Gboko during the crusade organized by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) Benue State, noted that the Federal Government has failed in honouring the contract it had entered into with Nigerians.
The Governor pointed out that he has the mandate of the Benue citizens to speak against any evil conceived and targeted towards them.
Also speaking, the Paramount Ruler of the Tiv Nation and Chairman, Benue Council of Chiefs, Prof. James Ayatse urged the Tiv elites to remain united to occupy their rightful positions in the scheme of affairs of the country.
Prof Ayatse expressed optimism that the event will bring total deliverance on the Tiv land and the devil will be defeated in its attempt to take over the Benue valley.
He applauded CAN for putting the event together, noting that it will impact positively the lives of participants in particular and society in general.
Earlier the convener of the crusade and Chairman of CAN Benue State, Rev Akpen Leva admonished believers to worship God in spirit and in truth, imploring them to depend on the Heavenly Father to tackle forces of darkness.
The Clergy enjoined Christian Faithful to pray for leaders of this country so that peace will reign for development to thrive.
