Chief Samuel Ortom, the immediate past governor of Benue State, has said the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Senator George Akume, remains his leader and mentor in politics. The former governor stated this during the celebration of his 63rd birth anniversary, organised by his former appointees in Makurdi, the state capital.
Ortom also claimed that Benue , under the current administration, is under siege, saying the state requires collaborative efforts of stakeholders. He appealed to the state's incumbent governor, Hyacinth Alia, to sheath his sword and work with Akume and other stakeholders to attract more dividends of democracy to the State.
He said, “Benue is under siege and requires collaborative efforts and we are available to add value and support to help our people to live in peace, now that campaigns and litigations are over, we should be working together irrespective of political affiliation to defend the State from herdsmen invasion.
