The Benue State incoming Governor,
Chief Samuel Ortom, has described his
experience as a motor park tout and
his election as governor as a divine
arrangement and the handiwork of
God.
Ortom, who bared his mind to The
PUNCH in an exclusive chat in
Makurdi, said his elevation from grass
to grace was due to hard work and his
firm believe in God.
He said, “My journey from being a
motor park tout to an elected governor
is purely a divine arrangement. I cast
my mind back to when I dropped out
of school in Form 2 but I remained
hardworking and I did not engage in
crime to survive.
“One thing I know is that hard work
pays and you must keep faith with
God; power belongs to God and He
alone gives it to whoever He will.”
The former Minister of State for
Industry, Trade and Investment said he
had dropped out of school in Form 2
due to lack of funds but this did not
force him to engage in criminal
activities to survive.
Ortom, however, noted that the
selection process of the PDP delegates
in the last party’s primary in the state
was manipulated by the party
leadership intentionally to thwart his
ambition of becoming the next
governor.
He said the party also frustrated the
support of the Benue populace who
supported him.
He said, “The process of selection of
delegates in the last PDP governorship
election was manipulated by the
leadership of the party to thwart my
ambition and frustrate the people who
all supported me. But God vindicated
me and blessed me, and now I am an
elected governor.”
