Insecurity: Revisiting Ortom’s epistle to Buhari
On
…Sani, Rafsanjani differ
By Dirisu Yakubu
Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue state is one of the country’s few leaders who always muster the courage to speak truth to power, sometimes against his own interest.
This is hardly surprising though, considering the man’s rise to national limelight from relative obscurity. For a man who knows the true meaning of deprivation and abundance, solidarity with the common cause comes across as a bounteous duty.
Years ago when he appeared before the Senate Committee as a ministerial designate; Ortom’s rich resume featuring personal pull by the bootstraps to conquer a disadvantaged background, culminated in a unanimous decision by the lawmakers to ask him to take a bow. As it were, this, alongside his insatiate appetite for the promotion of his people’s cause saw him elected as a state governor in 2015 and again in 2019.
