From Uche Nnorom, Makurdi
The Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom has admonished Benue people to shun the culture of insulting their leaders, but rather seek ways to support them to deliver effective leadership.
Governor Ortom gave the admonition while commissioning road projects named after late Gideon Ortkar and first speaker of the State Assembly Ayua Num.
He said the roads were hitherto, impassable, hence the need for the government to construct them to ease movement and open up the areas for socio economic activities.
However, the outgoing Governor said throughout his term, he received a lot of uncomplimentary remarks from Benue people, but was not deterred.
Ortom, who drummed support for the incoming administration of Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia said, “by 12 noon May 29th, I will be referred to as ex-governor.
“I advise Benue people to support the new Government. What I have been able to do, I hope they will improve on”.
