Gov Samuel Ortom

Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue state has cautioned his supporters to avoid spilling blood for him on his aspiration for a second term.

He spoke today, Thursday at St. Vincent De Paul Quasi Parish, Alliade during a funeral mass for the late Nobel Emmanuel Ayargwer, elder brother of former state deputy chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) , Dr. Tsetim Ayargwer.
“Our ambition as politicians is not worth the blood of anybody. For me, I would rather lose than win my election by violence because it is absolutely unnecessary to spill blood for any office because power belongs to God only.”
The Governor stressed that the people of the state are resolute in the implementation of the Open Grazing Prohibition and Ranches Establishment Law 2017.
“Benue people are not against any group or persons but are against the destruction of their crops by herders, hence their resort to ranching.”
Governor Ortom acknowledged the support of the church to sustain peace in the state, even as he requested more prayers for continued peace as the 2019 elections approaches.
The younger brother of the deceased and former state deputy chairman of the PDP, Dr. Ayargwer, expressed appreciation to Governor Ortom, Knights of St. Johns and political associates for their support in the family’s time of grief.
