We’ll Spill The Last Pint Of Our Blood To Defend Democracy, Ortom Declares

Governor of Benue state, Samuel Ortom has declared that Nigerians are prepared to “spill the last pint of their blood to defend democracy”.

Ortom made the statement while reacting to the statement by President Muhammadu Buhari that those found snatching ballot boxes will do so at the risk of their lives.

Speaking at the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP National secretariat, Abuja, Ortom said, “The military and other security agencies should respect their rules of engagement.

“Anything short of that will not be acceptable by Nigerians.

“It is unfortunate that a President who was elected under a democratic setting is becoming dictatorial.

“We are prepared to spill the last pint of our blood to defend our democracy”.
