Benue governor-elect roots for Akume.
Benue State Governor-elect, Dr Samuel Ortom, yesterday appealed to the people of the state to intensity prayers for the emergence of Senator George Akume as President of the Senate.
Addressing APC stakeholders at Akume’s residence in Makurdi, Ortom said the former Benue governor has paid his dues, and has the leadership qualities to steer the affairs of the Senate positively.
He said Benue stands to benefit immensely should Akume become Senate President.
Meanwhile, Akume’s Media Assistant, Mrs. Beckie Orpin, has denied a report that her principal is not interested in the Senate Presidency.
Mrs. Orpin described the report as totally false.
Akume, according to her: “is eminently qualified to aspire to any position and he is still in contention for the position of the President of the Senate.”

Frm a personal angle,i feel Sen George Akume is the best among the lot contesting for the post........
