Terver Akase, spokesperson to Samuel Ortom, former governor of Benue, says his principal did nothing wrong leaving the government house with official vehicles.
Reacting in a statement, Akase said it was the decision of the state executive council to allow Ortom, his deputy and other officials to go with the vehicles allocated to them. “Governor Ortom, therefore, did nothing unlawful by leaving office with the official vehicles allocated to him. “While we won’t go into a war of words with the governor despite the media trial, it is pertinent to clarify that the Ortom administration followed due process in recruiting the workers whom the present government sacked a few days ago,” he said.
