We also consider the process of the purported selection of Rt. Hon. Uba as a ruse designed to frighten zone C into abandoning its Gubernatorial aspiration. It is like rubbing pepper in the 46-year-old ethnically motivated political wound inflicted on the people of zone C.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe consider it inappropriate for Governor Ortom who is the leader of PDP in Benue state and father to all to publicly take a definite position against Zone C and openly align himself with the aspiration of Zone A.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe reject completely the deployment of virtually the entire state PDP machinery by the Governor to the pursuit of a Tiv ethnic agenda. We reject the situation whereby well-established party structures would be replaced overnight with an illegal body known as the \u201ccaucus for the Tiv speaking area\u201d for the purpose of picking the party\u2019s candidate for election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Governor\u2019s roles in (6) and (7) above are prejudicial and against the principles of equity, fairness and justice. This is inimical to the credibility and integrity of any process for the selection of the consensus Governorship candidate at the state level in which the Governor is supposed to play a neutral, fatherly role,\u201d the statement read in part.<\/p>\n<p>Reacting, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/04\/17\/benue-2023-ortoms-deputy-speaker-now-last-men-standing-for-pdp-ticket\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Governor Ortom<\/a>, in a statement described the BRM\u2019s allegation against him as spurious and far from the truth, particularly as it relates to the 2023 governorship election in Benue state.<\/p>\n<p>The statement which was signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Nathaniel Ikyur said that, \u201cSince 2015 when Governor Samuel Ortom came to office, he has continued to promote the unity of the state with accentuated vigour.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is also displayed in the now famous \u2018Unity Cap\u2019 which he preaches to build unity among all ethnic nationalities in the state and Nigeria in general.<\/p>\n<p>Ikyur reminded the BRM that the governor swore to the oath of office and oath of allegiance which makes every citizen of the state his primary responsibility, stressing that he (Ortom) has displayed this in both his appointments and siting of amenities by ensuring that no zone in the state lags behind.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe idea behind this is to show that Benue is for all and not just for the Tiv alone as the AVM Monday Morgan\u2019s Benue Rebirth Movement, BRM wants the public to believe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is on record that Governor Ortom had counselled the leadership of the Benue Rebirth Movement to reach out to their Tiv brothers to canvass support across all political parties, and not just in the People\u2019s Democratic Party, PDP for the purpose of an Idoma son or daughter to be elected as Governor of the State. That way, Governor Ortom believes there will be a singleness of purpose and approach for our Idoma brothers to have a level field of contest.<\/p>\n<p>The statement therefore, advised the Benue Rebirth Movement to do more homework by building trust and confidence with their Tiv brothers in their quest and not to turn and make Governor Ortom an issue in their contest for the governorship of the state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGovernor Ortom is not against an Idoma man becoming the governor of the State. It is a process that involves everyone, the statement concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue state has debunked all claims made by Benue Rebirth Movement (BRM), insisting that he does not hate the Idoma people.
