Benue State Governor-elect Samuel Ortom has lauded voters in the state for entrusting him with their mandate, promising never to let them down.
Speaking through Mr. Tahav Agerzua, the media director of Ortom/Abounu Governorship Campaign Organisation, Dr Ortom, attributed the nationwide electoral victory of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to God’s intervention in human affairs and the people’s determination to effect change.
Ortom said the victory has placed upon the APC a huge responsibility to turn around the fortunes of the state for the better, stressing that the party cannot afford to toy with what he called a sacred responsibility.
The governor-elect pledged to govern with the fear of God which according to him, will translate to the entrenchment of core values.
He listed truthfulness, selflessness, honesty, transparency, accountability, fairness, integrity, integration, justice, forgiveness and reconciliation, peace and unity as the attributes that will stimulate development.
Ortom urged politicians from all political divides in the state to be civil and decorum in the discharge of their duties and activities. He promised to accelerate the process of healing and unification.
He also lauded leaders and supporters of other political parties and all other stakeholders for their various roles in ensuring the smooth conduct of elections in the state.
The governor-elect commended Governor Gabriel Suswam, the ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP) its governorship candidate, Prince Terhemen Tarzoor and his campaign organisation for accepting the results in good faith in the spirit of good sportsmanship.
