Governor Ortom
Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State has charged Nigerians to continue to pray and support the peace and unity of the country.
Governor stated this in his Sallah message issued and made available to our correspondent by his Chief Press Secretary, Terver Akase in Makurdi, on Monday.
Ortom said that the current spate of insecurity where hundreds of school children are kidnapped daily in parts of the country, armed herders frequently attack farming communities and kill many people, as well as other acts of terrorism can only be surmounted if security agencies are given adequate support.
He emphasised that the safety of lives and property in all parts of the state will remain the priority of his administration.
The governor said that Eid-el-Kabir offers all Muslims the opportunity to exemplify the virtues of piety, honesty, charity and generosity, according to the teachings of Prophet Muhammad.
He gave assurance that his administration will continue to uphold the values of transparency, accountability, justice and equity in serving the people of the state.
Parts of the statement read, “Governor Ortom once again appreciates the understanding and support Benue people have given him since 2015 despite the challenges the State Government has faced within the period.
“He wishes the people of the state a joyful Eid-el-Kabir celebration.”
