Good, I'm disappointed by Idoma people voting APC

Are they voting APC or voting a son of Benue they trust? Be wise.

Orton was so smart to have shift base any APC candidate can't win Benue with all the killings happening in TiV land . indeed Ortom made a right Political move

And the only difference between Atiku and Buhari in the presidential election is paltry 7000. Next time use your brain.

Benue people do not necessarily vote on party line like some people who are politically naive. They voted the candidates.
During the presidential election Otukpo local government voted Buhari in APC for the president,
Abba Moro in PDP for senate and Blessing Mark in APGA for House of rep.

APC or PDP is not a person but an institution which anyone can belong.

Seriously Zone C really disappointed me. To think they voted massively for PDP in the presidential election. As it stands now, David Mark cannot play the godfathers card for Orthomatic. You don't have to be disappointed zone C votes based on performance and who will favour the region, Ortom first term didn't favour the idoma people in anyway. Jime is married to an idoma woman, his deputy is Idoma and is better qualified than Ortom. So it's not surprising the Idoma voted for APC

Going by what I heard last time I was in otukpo.The Idoma people did well. How can a governor fail to pay salary for one year and still expect votes. Is it Buhari that's also responsible for such inhumanity?

Any governor that's not paying salaries and also not performing should not be re-elected. I took special interest in Ortom's case. If Bindow is falling, abubakar is falling, Ganduje is falling, I don't know why this useless man should win.


They deserve whatever they get in the coming months.

Don't mind that one! It thinks Benue people are daft & vote blindly for one party like the gorilla descendants from the landlocked part of town. Only the gorilla descendants will see a whole Ojukwu, who they claim they adore so much, & ignore him to vote for the PDP just because they're used to voting the PDP & not because they really believed in the capability Obasanjo & the PDP.

They voted on ethnic lines.
Jime's wife is idoma.
The only way you see it? Nobody in Benue believes Ortom is a good man, the sentiments rather come into play when you have people voting in a complete failure just so he could "complete his eight years and go" because if Jime wins(who happens to come from the same zone as ortom), he might lead for another 8years, MAKING IT TWELVE YEARS FOR THESAME ZONE. The Idomas know this, the Tivs know this too. Two zones (A and B) are for the Tivs, one voted because ortom is "thier brother" the other voted because of the reason above( complete your mess and give us our turn) . Idomas (ZoneC, the PDP dominated zone) voted against Ortom because he is a complete failure and maybe partially because of your reason too. Benue only selects its governors from Zone A and B. So you see the many sentiments and reasons involved? It appears nobody voted for Party this time, it was Ortom's incompetence that made Benue raise votes for Buhari, strange but you'll understand better if you live here.

The Tribal bias in Benue state is very strong; the Idoma's and minority tribes outrightly voted against Ortom.

After 4 years, Ortoms only achievements
is that he stopped open grazing and didn't
allow donating land for ranches.

He didn't build even one single culvert in
any location though he commissioned some
Wheelbarrows some years back. He also
owes 7 to 12 months salaries.

The man is a disaster & probably the worst
governor in Nigeria.

Re: Ortom Of PDP Leads In Benue by Mcval(m): 8:19am On Mar 11, 2019
Another 4 years of acute hardship loading in Benue due to politics of sentiments. Ortom has nothing to offer the state. Even the debate before the polls he dodged because he has nothing to offer. Jime is by far the better candidate of the two but some of his own rejected him because he's not known for stomach infrastructure. The fact is this, as long as the Benue people play politics based on sentiments and who can buy you a bottle of beer, pork meat or hand you peanuts occasionally they will remain in abject poverty. Even the level of immorality in the state is sickening. I believe God is saying something here, Repent or you shall continue to suffer. I have seen a lot of people draw closer to God in the last 3 years of Ortom's administration due to non payment of salaries. May be more will turn to God in Ortom's second term as they may be owed over a year's salary this time. This is not pessimism but, a proven trend with our politicians. They don't perform better in their second term because they have nothing to lose.

Disappointed in Idoma for voting APC?

They didn't vote APC, they voted the better candidate. Besides, the utterances of the incumbent first lady pushed them to the wall.

During her campaign in the tiv speaking area, she said and I qoute: "Do you want an Idoma to become your first lady".Besides, Ortom is incompetent and only his goons and fools voted for him.

People don't like Ortom very much in Benue state (especially in zone C). My mother for example, who is a pensioner, detests him because he hardly pays salary let alone pension. The feeling is the same across the board.
.
PDP were using Abba Moro's victory to campaign in zone C (to beg rather). I think that's the reason PDP even got a tangible number of votes in that region.

She really said that? It's obvious the Tivs do not like the Idomas very much. Looking forward to when Benue state would elect an Idoma governor.

Ortom is a scum, no wonder zone C detests him. He is just riding on Abba Moro's victory to garner cheap votes in that region.

yuanexchanger:
congrats.They still like this man despite all that has happened.May the best candidate win.for rmb check siggy

Not that people like him but he knows how to use political events to his advantage. The guy is a smart politician. He started from grassroot as motor park tout and rose to the peak. The moment he realized that he had lost support of the masses and his re-election will be tough, he turned against the federal govt and his party (APC) and declared support for his people then decamped to PDP. The federal govt started persecuting him using EFCC and that won him more sympathy from the masses.
The events of presidential/senatorial polls further made things easier for him; all the APC senators lost and one of them (Senator Akume) who was his former godfather declared war and swore that he must retire governor Ortom. This further deepened ppl's support for Ortom.The masses have rejected Akume and so whoever he supports must be rejected as well. They believe senator Akume's control is too much and must end, he was governor for 8 years (1999-2007) and has since then been in the Senate. He installs governors, selects ppl for key appointments, some ppl even allege that he collects 50% of state allocation....
All these played to Ortom's favour.

lol....do you think that presidential poll was credible? in TIV land APC can't win in a fair contest. Abba Moro won in ZoneC because he was in PDP and Steven Lawani who lost out is even more loved than Moro although Moro and mark helped a lot of Idomas in securing FG jobs. As for Blessing mark winning Federal House of Assembly under APGA she is still a PDP member by proxy . I laugh when ignorant people like you say some states votes individual not party there's always some swing voters that Vote party regardless of the candidate the parties brings forward and those swing votes could decide the winner of the election .
