Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State has queried the General Manager of the state’s Urban Development Board for renaming some streets in the state capital.

According to a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Terver Akase in Makurdi, Ortom directed the board to immediately stop the renaming and dismantle nameplates mounted on the affected streets.

The governor particularly directed it to reverse the renaming of Ahmadu Bello Way which was renamed after him. He further directed the General Manager to explain within 24 hours why the agency embarked on the renaming of streets without approval.

The street renaming had been met with negative reaction from the residents of the people. The streets renamed include- Ahmadu Bello Way to Samuel Ortom Road, Gboko Ring Road to Tony Ijohor Road, Gyado Hospital Road to James Ortese Ayatse Road.

Others are Mkar Road to Iyorchia Ayu Road, St John Road leading to Tor Tiv Palace to Makir Dzakpe Way among others.

Planned publicity stunt or political strategy gone very wrong. Why not build an entirely new road and name it after your boss instead of renaming Ahmadu Bello Road?

To be frank, I had mixed feelings reading this but let me keep quiet fess and read comments.

Na over sabi or over eye service dey worry the aide.

From "ahmadu bello way" to "Samuel Ortom way", okada man go confuse na.

Renaming went wrong ...

Now shifting goal posts .. Changing Ahmadu Bello way to Samuel Ortom road and you wan form you were not aware.

Because of people reaction...........

Media stunt to calm nerves........


Watch out...... That Road will still anwser Samuel Ortom ROAD....... WE know them and their Style

Overzealousness and unnecessary eye service. Sometimes I blame our subjects more than our leaders. How does urban development work relate to renaming of roads after a sitting governor? Have you finished developing the urban areas in the state? Check now, he hasn't done anything substantial since he was appointed.

Most useless governor in the history of mankind.

Baba leave that thing. Ortom only did what he did because of the backlash the news recieved on Facebook.

Ortom is a compound failure, and so are his aides (in agreement with you).

Civil service is eye service

When eye service back fires.

From "ahmadu bello way" to "Samuel Ortom way", okada man go confuse na.

Even Google Map go confuse.

G

Build a new road and name it Samuel otom. Google Map will be confused

I used to hear Benue people dont like Hausa/Fulani's never knew it was true.

Ahmadu bello is like a powerful personality in the north for them to rename a road named after him the person get mind

Las las Na okada man go suffer am

Better to construct and give whatever name you like, instead of renaming what you met.
