How Gov. Ortoms achievements exceeded APC ‘change’ manifesto – Akase
Samuel Ortom has stated that the Governor's performance in three years
exceeded the manifesto of his former party, the All Progressives
Congress, APC, even while he was still in the party.
Akase said this on Tuesday while reacting to allegations by the former
Special Adviser to the Governor on local government and chieftaincy
affairs and governorship aspirant, Titus Zam, that Ortom was a
stranger in the APC and so was not in tune with its manifesto.
The Chief Press Secretary, in a statement made available to DAILY
POST, said that the APC ideology centred on change which only
translated to replacing the government in power at that time.
He said Ortom being an astute administrator, went beyond the APC
manifesto by executing laudable projects in various sectors of the
economy in the state.
Akase said 43 rural communities have been connected with urban areas
through the construction of feeder roads while 20 others have been
provided with electricity under the Bureau for Rural Development and
Cooperatives.
According to him, construction of classroom blocks is ongoing in 740
primary schools across the state with over 500 already completed,
while 44 primary health centres and water schemes established by the
Ortom administration are already in use in various communities of the
state.
He stated that through the intervention of Governor Ortom, over 150
medical doctors have also graduated at the College of Health Sciences
and about 13 road projects were at various stages of completion.
The Chief Press Secretary described as unfortunate, the utterances of
those who before now, described Governor Ortom as a star performer
only to turn around and launch verbal attacks on the Governor now that
he is in another political party.
Akase advised former adviser, Titus Zam and other APC aspirants to
tell Benue people their agenda for the development of the state if
given the opportunity to lead instead of making Governor Ortom the
focus of their campaign.
