The Governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom, has alleged that
some governors are defecting to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to
avoid prosecution from the Federal Government after mismanaging public trust and
resources.
Ortom said that some governors who have mismanaged
themselves and public property are afraid because the Federal Government is
using that to prosecute the governors.
The Governor further revealed that he was approached and he
told them he had no skeleton in his cupboard.
”I have no issue with those defecting here and there but let those people come clean because you heard the former National Chairman of APC say that when you defect to APC, you will become a saint; even if you are a devil, you will become a saint.
“And so people who have mismanaged themselves and mismanaged
public property are afraid. And that’s the instrument that the Federal
Government is using on our people,” he said.
”They came to me and I said no, I have no skeleton. Let them
bring it out. If you don’t do well, I will take you to court and we will dig it
out there.”
