Benue Assembly speaks on working against Gov Ortom

Speaker of the Benue State House of Assembly, Titus Uba, says no
financial inducement will make the state lawmakers work against
Governor Samuel Ortom or the state government.

Addressing newsmen in Makurdi, the state capital on Tuesday, the
speaker added that the leadership would lift the suspension slammed on
eight members if they showed remorse.

He said: "we are looking at how we can come together to save the soul
of Benue State."

Uba further assured that the lawmakers were working together in unity
irrespective of political affiliations.

"The 22 members on my side are intact, and nothing on this earth is
going to shake us.

"We are also still in talking terms with the other eight members, and
some of them are already making advances to come back and join us,
instead of taking us to the other side.

"But if you paint something black and you want to brighten it, you
must use white paint to clean it," he added.
