Ortom , the worst governor Benue ever had – Tiv Youths lament

The Tiv Youth Council Worldwide has described the administration of Governor Samuel Ortom as clueless and heartless. Reacting to Governor Ortom’s recent interview on Television Continental, the group’s president, Hon. Mike Msuaan described the governor’s claims as disgraceful and a tissue of lies, half truths and make beliefs.

The Tiv youth group also reiterated its earlier pledge to telecast Governor Ortom’s achievements on national television.

Hn. Msuaan said:

“We threw a challenge to Governor Ortom to provide his achievements to us so that we can telecast it on national televisions for Nigerians to see. Since we made that appeal, no one has come up with a compilation of the governors achievements. “Any journalist who is willing to undertake a survey of Ortom’s achievements should simply contact us. We ready to foot the bills and take them round the state.”

He said that development has eluded Benue state for the seven years that Ortom has been governor. He stated:

“All of the roads poorly constructed by the governor have become dilapidated and death traps. The governor has been unable to build a single industry in the state.”

Hon. Msuaan insisted that the administration of Governor Ortom has taken Benue state 30 years backward when other states are moving forward.

He added:

“Most importantly Ortom is less busy. Governors who are determined to develop their states do not go about scouting for opportunities to make headlines using the presidents name, they are rather inviting the president to commission projects they have built for their people.

“Since Governor Ortom appears to love the name of President Buhari, we urge him to invite the president to Benue state for purposes of commissioning projects, with that President Buhari can stay for a couple of days and provide the opportunity for the governor to have several photo sessions with the president.”
