With four days to the governorship elections, a former Senator from Benue state, David Iornem has called on Benue people to come out en-masse to reelect Governor Samuel Ortom come Saturday 9.
Iornem who is a Kaduna-based management consultant and educationist said he was endorsing Governor Ortom for re-election because of Ortom’s courage, innovation and selfless service.
In a Press statement made available to newsmen, Iornem cited the introduction of ranching in Benue state as one of the courageous, innovative and progressive programmes of Governor Samuel Ortom.
He said Ortom has done well and that he has the confidence that the Benue people will bring him back to office.
The erstwhile Senator noted that Benue state was an agricultural state where unrestricted cattle movement and grazing can cause conflict between farmers and cattle rearers, hailing the governor for taking steps to curtail the conflicts.
“This singular policy, which is capable of protecting both farmers and cattle rearers is enough for Benue people to re-elect Governor Ortom to continue as governor so as to enable him implement the anti open grazing law in the overall interest of Benue farmers and herdsmen,” he said.
