Benue State Governor, Samuel
Ortom has cried out over alleged plan by some persons to attack him.
The governor said there were
underground plans by his political enemies to launch a smear campaign against
his person and office.
In a statement through his Chief
Press Secretary, Terver Akase, the governor said some persons were not happy
over the governor’s refusal to betray the people of Benue who brought him to
power.
Akase said, “It has become
necessary to alert the people of Benue State and other Nigerians about further
plans by some persons to launch smear campaigns against Governor Samuel Ortom
on various conventional and social media platforms.
“These plans are part of a grand
conspiracy between some politicians in Benue State with their collaborators in
Abuja, part of which was uncovered and exposed recently.
“The organised attacks which will
be based on blatant falsehood are aimed at damaging the good and towering
reputation of the Governor to the political advantage of the selfish
individuals.
“Those behind the plot whose
objectives include perpetual subjugation in all spheres are not comfortable
with the courageous stand of Governor Ortom on major issues in favour of
majority of Benue people.
“They have therefore chosen to
demonize him.
“However, Governor Ortom
reassures the people of the state that the fresh plans will fail, just like all
the others, because he has no skeleton in the cupboard.
“We reassure anyone who is
genuinely interested in getting information regarding government activities to
make inquiries and such information will be readily available.
“The campaign to tarnish the
Governor’s image would not distract him from delivering on the mandate of the
people as well as pursuing justice and right causes. The campaign of calumny
will only strengthen his resolve to stand by the people.
“As the state anthem says ‘though
the giants may be on their way to hinder, God will surely give us victory’.”
