Former Benue State Governor Samuel Ortom has publicly dismissed the findings of a state-commissioned inquiry into his administration’s finances. Ortom alleges the inquiry, led by the Benue State Income and Expenditure Commission, is a politically motivated “witch-hunt” initiated by current Governor Hyacinth Alia. He has not provided specific details regarding the report’s findings that prompted his rejection. The former governor’s statement suggests a contentious relationship between the current and previous administrations in Benue State. This rejection raises questions about the impartiality and credibility of the inquiry’s process and conclusions. The report’s contents and the basis for Ortom’s accusations remain largely undisclosed at this time. Vanguard News initially reported the former governor’s response.
