\n
Benue State Governor, Dr. Samuel Ortom has declared that Nigeria is on life support, stressing that all was not well with the country.<\/div>\n

\n
\nOrtom, who spoke while paying a condolence visit to the family members of the late Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Dr. Obadiah Mailafia, said those who believe all is well with Nigeria are simply deceiving themselves.<\/div>\n
\nThe governor extolled the virtues of the late consummate writer and technocrat in standing up for justice and truth.<\/p>\n

\u201cDr. Mailafia was fearless and he stood on the side of the truth. As the Bible says, \u2018You should know the truth and the truth shall set you free.\u2019 Our brother stood for truth and justice.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnyone saying that all is well in Nigeria is just deceiving himself. Nigeria is on life support. Nigerians have never been divided as it is today.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cLet everyone know that Nigeria is greater than any person. Nigeria is greater than all of us. We must team up and work. We must combine our faith in Nigeria with work in order to salvage our nation from those who seek to destroy it. Refusing to combine our faith with work is akin to pumping a punctured tyre,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n
\nHe stressed further that, \u201cWe are here to pay our respects to Dr. Mailafia and console the family. We appreciate God for giving us Mailafia and for all he did in his lifetime.<\/p>\n

\u201cDr. Mailafia lived a worthy life, and we are happy the Almighty God spared his life to enable him achieve what he was able to.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n\u201cThe actions and memories he left behind shall ever remain alive. We the living shall forever continue to cherish his principles and the indefatigable spirit he demonstrated throughout his lifetime.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continues: \u201cThose who are celebrating his death are lying. What Dr. Mailafia did in life will continue to germinate and bear fruits for many years to come. We appreciate him and thank God for his.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n\u201cI stand with Dr. Mailafia even in his death. I appreciate his principles, and though dead, we shall continue with the struggle.<\/div>\n
\n\u201cI encourage our mother to be strong. When our time has come, there is nothing on earth that can stop it. Be strong in the Lord and know that \u201call things worketh together for good for those that are called by God,\u201d Ortom consoled the bereaved family.<\/p>\n

Welcoming Ortom to the Mailafia\u2019s\u2019 home, the National President of the Middle Belt Forum (MBF), Dr Pogu Bitrus, appreciated the governor for finding time out of his busy schedules to pay a condolence visit to the family Dr. Mailafia who was one of Nigeria\u2019s distinguished elder statesman and a prominent son of the Middle Belt Region.<\/p><\/div>\n

\nMembers of the bereaved family who received the governor included the widow, Mrs. Margaret Mailafia, and some of the siblings of the former CBN Deputy Governor. They included Dr. Luka Mailafia; Professor Samuel Mailafia and Barr Abel Mailafia.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
