If he is not accusing the former Governor of looting the state\u2019s treasury and assets, he is blaming him for providing employment to Benue youths.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince May 29, 2023, Governor Alia and his team have been intent on tarnishing Ortom\u2019s hard-earned reputation by putting him on trial in the media. Their latest move was the inauguration of the \u201cAssets Recovery Committee\u201d, where they once again accused the former Governor of looting government assets in collusion with members of his former cabinet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGovernor Alia has become a judge in his own case. He has convicted the immediate past Governor even before the committee on assets recovery would commence its assignment, thereby violating the principle of \u2018audi alterem partem\u2019 (\u201clisten to the other side\u201d, or \u201clet the other side be heard as well\u201d.)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDespite the motive behind the probe, it is important to note that due process was followed by the Ortom administration in all its actions, including the allocation of vehicles to outgoing government officials and the auction of some public property.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs previously mentioned, the then Benue State Executive Council made the decision to grant waivers to government officials, including the Governor and his Deputy, to allow them to retain their official vehicles. The Council also approved the auction of certain assets that were no longer of value to the government.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur advice to Governor Alia remains the same; focus on governance and deliver on the numerous promises he made to the people during the campaigns. Blaming Chief Ortom for the government\u2019s lack of progress in addressing development issues does not lend credibility to the current administration.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Immediate past governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom, has expressed dissatisfaction with how his successor, Governor Hyacinth Alia, is going about the handling of the state&#8217;s affairs especially as it relate to him (Ortom) Ortom accused Alia subjecting him to all manner of persecution and media trial.
