Former Governor, Dr Samuel Ortom, has urged the people of Benue State to rally behind Alia and offer their support to enable him succeed.
Ortom said this in a statement issued by his Media Aide, Mr Terver Akase on Wednesday in Makurdi.
He was reacting to the Supreme Court judgement which affirmed Hyacinth Alia the Governor of the State.
He said that the people needed to unite across party lines for the progress and development of the state.
“The legal contest that ensued following the 2023 elections was fundamental in deepening our democratic values and principles.
“It is a reflection of the vibrant nature of our democracy and a demonstration of the rule of law at work.
“Now that Alia’s election has been affirmed, it is time for all of us to wish him well as he leads the state,” Ortom said.
He added that as one who had led the state before, he was conversant with the challenges of governing a state and the fact that the occupant of the seat needed the support and cooperation of the people.
He further wished Alia good health and success.
