I Was A Motor Park Tout —benue Gov-elect. by PhockPhockMan: 4:16am On May 28, 2015
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.”

This is no news. We all know. He's never failed to make reference to that in most of his public speeches. Always talking about his humble beginnings.

I'm very sure this Op meant to spite the governor by this since he's in APC. Pele. It is no news Ortom used to be an Abgero hustling travellers and carrying bags for them. I don't think there's anything wrong in coming from a poor background. What you eventually make of your life is all that matters.

We all remember someone used to trek kilometres to school bare-feet.

I hope he's not going to use this story of a poor and humble background as a facade to loot us silly? This is what they do, they appear angelic, with no evil intentions during the campaigns, but when they see the money, the devil in them comes out and they loot the treasury with wanton recklessness.
