The Governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom has praised the Igbo ethnic group, describing them as hardworking and accommodating people.
Ortom added that the business acumen of the Igbo people is one attribute that distinguishes them wherever they find themselves.
The Benue Governor who vowed not to keep quiet about the killing of his people, said the Igbo nation is different as they don’t engage in such violent activities but positively impact those around them.
“The Igbo are accommodating and hard working. They are a group that can live with other ethnic groups and not like those that are killing my people and they want me to keep quiet. I will never keep quiet concerning incessant attacks on my people by herdsmen until the authorities do the right thing. I will continue to speak against injustice,” he said.
I Can’t Be Threatened
Also, Ortom stated that no human being can threaten his 2023 senatorial ambition as he believes all power belongs to God and he gives it only to those he wants.
According to the Governor, “no one can threaten my senatorial ticket. A man can get nothing except it is given to him by God, I want to sincerely commend the Igbos in Benue and across the states for the strategy to empower the younger generation which is second to none.”
