The statement reads: "The way people so soon forget history, especially the way they forget those who were once their benefactors, is beyond imagination.

“Former Governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom’s vituperation against former Vice President and PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar is a reflection of Ortom’s short and faded memory.

"He doesn't need to remind him where he came from, but let me quickly refresh his memory and show the world that Ortom is a first rate ingrate!

"The fact that former governor Ortom started small as a truck driver and car garage driver, but through the mercy of God became governor after serving as a minister, is a good testimony of which you have to be grateful.

“Ortom would be remembered as the Benue State Treasurer of the Turaki Vanguard, a group of which I had the privilege of being the founding Managing Director, as it struggled to find its footing in Benue politics, not even in Nigeria as a whole.< /p>

"Turaki Vanguard was Atiku's main political support group in Benue, while Atiku was the Vice President of Nigeria. So when, in Ortom's wildest imagination, did- Did he think it was appropriate of him to make reckless statements about Atiku?

"It will also be remembered how Ortom ran to Atiku for financial support during his gubernatorial election in 2015 when he ran out of funds to pursue his election. Ortom was accompanied to Atiku by Benue State political leader and former gubernatorial candidate Chief Shima Ayati, who knows the current SGF, Senator George Akume Atiku has made available large financial donations to support Ortom. , Ortom is an ingrate!

"It must also be said that during the unfortunate disaster that struck Benue at different times, Atiku sent humanitarian aid in cash and material to Benue State under Ortom."

So it is ridiculous that Ortom and his traveling companions imagine themselves to be Atiku's political rivals. Ortom and his band of friends are too insignificant for Atiku to care.

“It is a truism, according to recent media reports, that Ortom remains one of the worst governors in the country, whose eight years of disservice to the good people of Benue will take years of hard work and visionary leadership to correct .

“Consequently, he would have won his election to the Senate and dismissed all PDP candidates in the state, as did his counterparts in Akwa Ibom and other states. A former Governor Akume produced him as Governor, it's quite a shame that Ortom couldn't produce his successor.

“Finally, it is high time that Ortom and his fellow travelers stop dishonouring themselves by claiming that they worked against Atiku because he is a northerner chosen by the PDP or a justice supporter for the South. He must think Nigerians are fools.

“It is clear to the Nigerians that their action and betrayal was shrouded in selfish interests. their obvious losses as governors of their respective states by the APC government which has yet to be legitimized. Tinubu does not need any member of the so-called G5 to constitute his government. They are only welcomed at this time only for their nuisance value. The chicken will soon be home to roast."
