InformationNigeria report indicates that, the governor, while reacting to the president’s open grazing policy, said:

“Mr President is pushing me to think that what they say about him, that he has a hidden agenda in this country is true,” Ortom said, adding: “because it is very clear that he wants to fulanise but he is not the first Fulani president.
