2019 election results: Akume is my leader – Senator-elect, Orker Jev
The Senator-Elect for Benue North Senatorial District, Rep Orker Jev, has said nothing will diminish his respect for outgoing Sen. George Akume, whom he defeated to emerge a senator on Saturday.
Speaking to journalists in an interview on Tuesday in Makurdi, Jev attributed his victory to zoning and the benevolence of Benue people. The senator-elect said the people of Buruku Federal Constituency, whose turn it was to field candidates for the slot, loaned it to Akume, who allegedly failed to return it to them for more than 12 years.
He said as a Rep member, he was not new to the processes of representation and pledged to enact laws that would benefit the rural populace.
