Benue chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Tuesday
charged people of the state to demand answers from the Governor Samuel
Ortom led administration.
PDP said it was surprised that workers were being owed 12 months
salaries despite the Paris Club refund and urged them to speak up or
keep suffering.
The party, at a stakeholders’ meeting in Makurdi, the state capital,
stated that the Benue government had no reason to owe workers because it
had received monies from “various fronts”.
Terhemen Tarzoor, PDP governorship candidate in the 2015 elections, urged the people to demand for accountability in governance.
“We must all rise up and demand for a responsive and responsible
government because that is the key to building a strong economy with
opportunities for all,” he said.
“Benue has taken loans. It has collected the Paris Club Refunds and
received bailout funds from the Federal Government. The regular federal
allocations and Internal Generated Revenue have also been coming in.
“In the past two years, much monies have entered the state account;
Benue has no reason to owe workers. We must ask questions and demand
answers”.
