The Benue State Governor, Samuel
Ortom, on Thursday assured people of the state that his administration was
committed to taking the state to “greater heights of development.”
This was disclosed by the
governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Tever Akase, at PDP state secretariat in
Makurdi, the state capital when he met with the party’s spokesperson, Bemgba
Iortyom.
In a statement by, Akase said Ortom remained “focused on the task of overcoming the numerous
economic and security challenges confronting the state.”
Akase added that the heartwarming
signs were already showing, pointing out that the regular payment of workers
salaries since January this year has proven that the Benue State Government is
determined to clear the arrears of salaries.
He noted that the PDP stands for
people-oriented development, adding that “Ortom is one of those who built the
party in the state and would work assiduously for its victory at the general
elections next year.”
Akase, who added that Ortom was
happy to return to the party, noted that the PDP was known for “many good
things, and it is a political party, which encourages those who win elections
on its platform to perform creditably instead of encouraging godfatherism and
impunity.”
He described the critical role
PDP played in promoting good governance while in the opposition, saying he was
in the office of the state Publicity Secretary of the party to “demonstrate
their resolve to synergize and deepen information dissemination in the interest
of the state.”
Also speaking, Iortyom thanked
the Chief Press Secretary for the visit and assured him of a harmonious working
relationship.
Iortyom, while commending the
governor for the decision to return to the party, observed that there was
“renewed vigour in the manner the Governor has been addressing development
challenges facing the state since his defection from APC.”
