Stop blaming Ortom for your failures, Benue group tells Governor Alia

An advocacy group in Benue State under the auspices of Tiv Youth Patriotic Front (TYPF), has called on Governor Hyacinth Alia to sit up and work instead of constantly blaming his predecessor, Samuel Ortom, for his perceived failures and inadequacies in handling affairs of the state.

The advocacy group, in a statement on Saturday, said Alia was deflecting from his inability to provide leadership by resorting to blaming Ortom and other past leaders for his failure.

Alia had on Friday, while interacting with journalists in Makurdi, warned his predecessors and prominent Benue leaders to shut up and not to interfere in his government if they have nothing to offer.
