The Principal Special Assistant to Governor Samuel
Ortom of Benue State on Food Security and Nutrition, Hon. Dorcas Ukpe has
called on the youths of the country and Benue in particular to vote in credible
people in next year’s general elections.
Hon. Ukpe stated this on Thursday, 13 September,
2018 during the official launch of the VOTE BETA CHOP BETA campaign as part
of measures to promote peace and ensure delivery of democracy dividends in the
forth coming elections held at the Precious Conference Centre, Makurdi.
She noted that the only way the youths can “chop”
better is to vote in credible candidates in the coming polls, adding that the
people and youths of the state have it so good today because Samuel Ortom is
the governor of Benue.
She disclosed that Govenor Ortom is the only person
who put his neck out there to protect the Benue people by signing the Open Grazing
Prohibition and Ranges Establishment Law, adding that the Fulani marauders are
still killing the Benue people.
The PSA further disclosed that Nigeria is the only
country that allows cattle to graze from Sokoto to Rivers to Ibadan on the freeways
and air trips, noting that when the Governor insisted that these livestock
should be ranged, it became an issue.
She further called on the people of the state to
vote in Governor Samuel Ortom in next year’s general elections so that there
will be continuity of the good works of protecting the people of the state, as
according to her, the Governor is credible and has done well.
