The immediate past Governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom,
has urged his supporters attacking Governor Hyacinth Alia’s administration to
remain calm.
Recall that the present administration had accused Ortom and
others who worked with him of looting the state’s resources.
The erstwhile governor was on June 21 2023 invited by the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, over the allegations.
Similarly, some properties belonging to the state government
were allegedly recovered from the former governor.
Vexed by what they termed as harassment, Ortom’s supporters
have continued to make derogatory statements against the incumbent governor and
his team.
But Ortom, in a statement issued on Wednesday by his media
aide, Terver Akase, urged the supporters to remain calm, adding that they
should not heat up the polity.
The former Governor stated that he is capable of responding
to the issues being raised against him and other officials of the previous
government and has always made known his belief in the rule of law.
He reiterated his readiness to make himself available to
respond to issues bordering on his administration whenever the need arises.
