The Governor of Ekiti state, Ayodele Fayose, put his political differences aside as he paid a condolence visit to his Benue State counterpart, Governor Samuel Ortom.

Over 80 persons have been killed in the state this year alone.

Samuel Ortom, governor of Benue, was on ground to receive Fayose, who is chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors’ Forum.

Fayose offered prayers at the gravesite of the 73 persons killed in January.

Fayose’s visit comes 24 hours after that of Nyesom Wike, governor of Rivers state, also a member of PDP.

Wike, who donated N200 million to persons affected by the crisis, also visited the grave of the victims.

Fayose blasted the Force Public Relation Office for calling Gov. Ortom a drowning man, that it is total insult on all governors
