Senator George Akume, an All Progressive Congress (APC) stalwart and former governor of Benue State has been exposed by Governor Samuel Ortom.

Ortom in a reaction to Akume’s purported comments that he picked him from the gutter responded through his Adviser on Media and ICT, Tahav Agerzua that; “There are some politicians in the state that believe that unless they make you governor, you cannot be governor. This is historically incorrect.”

“When these people were not on the scene, Aper Aku and Father Adasu became governors of the state. So it is not true for some people to believe that without them no one can be governor. More so, I like a media report from a constituent in Benue North-West who said ‘our senator, come and tell us your score card. We gave you our mandate; tell us how many bills you have sponsored.”

“For close to 12 years you have been in the Senate, tell us how many motions, tell us how many constituency projects you have executed rather than jumping about passing judgment on others’.”
