Techfile: you Are A Motor Park Tout - APC Chieftain Blasts Benue Governor, Ortom - latest news
By Prince Ogboji Ogboji
A chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress
from Benue State, Hon. Chief Johnson Agada, has
lambasted the ]state governor, Dr. Samuel Ortom, for
calling for the head of Audu Ogbeh at the height of
the recent attacks on Benue by suspected Fulani
herdsmen.
Agada said the attacks on Ogbeh by Ortom's praise
singers were uncalled for because the governor was
probably at a motor park in Gboko, Makurdi or
Gbajimba when the elder statesman was Minister of
Communications in the 80s when Alhaji Shehu
Shagari held sway.
Chief Agada stated this in the early hours of Saturday
via his social media platform while reacting to the
alleged rift between governor Ortom and Ogbeh over
the recent alleged Fulani herdsmen attacks on two
communities in Benue State
The governor had in a meeting accused the Minister
of Agriculture of not being truthful to President
Muhammadu Buhari on the true state of the attack
on the two Benue communities.
Agada questioned why should a failed governor like
Ortom mobilize some Benue people against Chief
Ogbeh who had fought tooth and nail to bring federal
presence to the Benue valley
His words, "I just read one Stephen Akuma describing
the trio of Chief Ogbeh, governors Lalong and Bello of
Plateau and Kogi States as 'Efulefu'. I don't know the
meaning of Efulefu in Tiv language but in my Idoma
dialect, an Efulefu is a useless person who is of no
value to himself or herself and the society in general.
Chief Ogbeh is not by any stretch of imagination fit
into Akuma's description above."
Agada recalled that the honourable Minister of
Agriculture, Chief Dr. Audu Ogbeh was a senior
lecturer with A.B.U. Zaria and later head of
department of Murtala College of Arts and Sciences
(MUCAS) -now Benue State Polytechnic, before
venturing into politics in 1979 on the prompting of his
Otukpa people who asked him to contest election
into Benue State House Assembly representing
Otukpa State Constituency which he won and
became the deputy speaker of the house, a position
he held till 1981 when President Shehu Shagari
appointed him as the cabinet minister of
communications and reappointed him again in 1983
after Shagari's re-election.
"The Ortom whom Akuma is struggling to defend
was at this time an agbero in the park at various
garages in Gboko, Makurdi, Gbajimba etc. Ortom
himself acknowledged being lifted by God from the
motor park as a garage tout."
Agada who said he has no authority to speak for the
two middle belt governors, mentioned in the
demeaning post by one Stephen Akuma, noted that
"but I know Gov. Ortom cannot equal Gov. Simon
Lalong (Mr ALERT) who has been scored higher in
terms of salary payment and infrastructural
development
Agada declared that the state wage bill as at the
time former Governor Suswam left office in 2015 was
N2.6b according to the Kpojime Committee report, a
committee set up by the Governor Ortom led State
government.
The APC chieftain further expressed shocks that the
Governor who told them during a stakeholders'
meeting that he was saving cost -having reduced
numbers of Commissioners from 20 to 13, Advisers
from 28 to 15, SSA and SA from over 300 to less than
100 would declare that the salary wage bill for the
State grew in geometrics from N2.6 billion to N7.8
billion without any official employment since he came
on board as governor of the state.
Agada advised Governor Ortom to halt any attempt
to use the Hon. Minister of Agriculture as a scapegoat
for his incompetence, stressing that the Agric Ministry
under Dr. Audu Ogbeh's watch is the most vibrant
ministry in the current dispensation
He urged the governor to as a Christian rise above
being the Nyamkiume Nzorov and take the entire
Benue as his constituency instead of this tribal and
clannish bigotry he is engaged in
"When the Idomas lost over 700 innocent souls in
Agatu, the governor never declared mass burial or
public holiday to mourn their deaths but as soon as
his council ward in Nzorov was involved, it became
Benue problem and the president of the republic must
be insulted. During the Agatu massacre, Governor
Ortom took Governor of Nasarawa State to Agatu in
a chopper to convince Agatu people to cede the land
to fulani." The statement read in part
Agada accused Governor Ortom of frustrating the
Agric Minister's efforts to bringing a lasting solution to
the farmers/herdsmen perennial crisis, adding that
those excuses meant to persuade Benue workers
from asking for their 9-11 months salary arrears are
no longer tenable, stating that the governor must go
and pay his workers salaries instead of trying to
compare himself with Chief Dr. Audu Ogbeh who's
known for his competence and integrity.
