Samuel Ortom, governor of Benue state, says no amount of “torment or persecution” will make him reconsider his defection from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
In a statement issued on his behalf by Terver Akase, his chief press secretary, the governor accused the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) of being a strike squad of the ruling party.
He also alleged that the federal government had been using the anti-graft agency to “cripple governance in the state.”
“After succumbing to nationwide condemnation of its illegal freezing of Benue State Government accounts, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC has resorted to yet another shameful act in its desperation to cripple governance in the state,” the statement read.
“The anti-graft agency’s latest move is the bandying of figures in national dailies claiming that such figures are those of transactions in the accounts owned by the Benue State Government.
“It released figures allegedly withdrawn from the Benue State Government accounts without disclosing the dates of the withdrawals and the period during which they were made.
The commission has also not been able to state accounts into which such monies withdrawn were paid to prove that the funds had been diverted.
“EFCC is contented with publishing the figures without stating how impropriety has been established.
“Are government monies supposed to be kept in the accounts indefinitely without expenditure? Their objective is apparently to give Governor Samuel Ortom and his administration a bad name.
“On this score, it is clear that the EFCC has now become both a strike squad of the APC for torment, and their law court for the trial and conviction of political opponents.”

Is already late for you.

Your mumu don do nah

2014 you ran away from PDP cos your lost primaries

We don't need him in APC, he has committed political suicide.



APC will chip in a better candidate that will deliver Benue state.



PMB till 2023

Who would love to keep a mediocre, looter and insensitive candidate like you in their fold? You've made a cheap political propaganda out of the death of Benue people thinking your questionable publicity of the attack will endear you to us after a woeful performance in government where you paraded yourself as a man of God but kept shortchanging the poor state by illegal deductions of local government funds and diversions of bailout funds. Now you're claiming you weren't the one ruling but someone else so you should be returned for you to rule. And I ask, Ortom, where is the guarantee that you will not give us this same alibi after another woeful performance? You can only deceive the gullible not me and as many as I can influence by telling them the truth about your government. I am not a fan of senator Akume but I can't support an epitome of corruption and deception like you. Tell your tales to the undiscerning.

Ortom's government and propaganda are inseparable. Tell us why the accounts were frozen. Was it not for you and your cronies' illegal withdrawals from those accounts? Senator Akume should be blamed for whatever is happening to us as a result of your misrule and looting. Akume imposed you on the Benue people.

They don't even want you again...
