From: Uche Nnorom, Makurdi
Former Minister for State, Niger Delta under Goodluck Jonathan administration, Sam Ode has noted that even in the near war torn North Eastern part of Nigeria, States are posting good results, maintaining that there is need for Benue State to have a new lease of life.
Ode who said this at the weekend during a parley with journalists at his residence in Makurdi, averred that the state earnestly needs development.
The erstwhile minister regretted that the state has remained in one spot while the rest of the world is moving on, boasting that if given the opportunity to govern the state, he has the qualities to make a difference.
“I know the State very well. I have function in the local government system, the State government structure, and was privilege by the Grace of God to function in the Federal cabinet and coupled with all the intellectual attainment, I believe that my thought process is properly positioned to serve the State.”
