The governor distanced himself from the branded wheelbarrows, saying that he did not order anybody to write his name on the materials.
Report emerged from Benue State on Thursday saying that the governor, as part of his goodwill for the youths of the state, decided to empower them with wheelbarrows and hoes.
In a statement by his CPS, Tever Akase, Ortom said his consent was not sought before the development.
He said, “The attention of Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom has been drawn to pictures of wheelbarrows bearing his name and posted on social media suggesting that he plans to empower youths of the state with the carts.
“We wish to make it clear that the consent of the Governor was not sought and he did not give approval for anyone to inscribe his name on the said wheelbarrows.
“Governor Ortom is aware that the wheelbarrows in possession of the State Emergency Management Agency, SEMA were recently donated to the state by the National Commission for Refugees, Migrants and Internally Displaced Persons, NCFRMI, for victims of crisis in parts of the state so he couldn’t have claimed credit for the gesture.
“The Ortom administration has numerous laudable empowerment schemes for youths of Benue but the donation of wheelbarrows to the youths is not one of such schemes.
“Consequently, the Governor has directed Secretary to the State Government to issue a query to the Executive Secretary of SEMA to explain why the said action was taken by his office.
“Governor Ortom has also directed the agency to immediately remove the inscription from all the affected wheelbarrows.”
Hahahaha shameless governor. Why wont he deny ever knowing about it. Shameful APC governors everywhere.

Not only wheelbarrows, hoes join? So
ReplyDeletehe wants to tell us that the NCFRMI donated the wheelbarrows and hoes to the internally displaced people in the state? What are they supposed to do with them?
I don't think so Governor. The information of you giving them to the youths sounds more plausible or you list out the laudable empowerment schemes you have put in place for the youths.
End time empowerment but you know what? Next election, they will still foolishly vote him into power. We deserve the leaders we get saddled with because we are part of the problem.

DeleteSo he even join hoes? LMAO.
ReplyDelete@Galore get your facts right, Benue is not a Hausa speaking state.
wait o the question should be what kind of youths were gifted the wheel barrows? wheel barrows are essential in some businesses.like farming,trading(our sales boys use wheel barrows to carry goods from the ware house to the shop).so it's not entirely bad as some people might need it.
ReplyDeleteNortherners ke Benue people are not hausas but you are right on one thing though, the man is really backward.The man is just doing damage control
ReplyDeleteWheel barrow for looting, ghana must go no longer effective for looting😜
ReplyDeleteI still find it funny that they're giving youths of the state relief materials meant for refugees.......smh
ReplyDeleteIf they meant for displaced persons,why were they not distributed to them. Shameless governor.
