The cold war between the Governor of Benue State, Dr Samuel Ortom and the Minister of Special Duties and Intergovernmental Affairs, Sen George Akume has taken a different dimension as Ortom has dragged Akume to Court to explain the allegations he leveled against him.
It could be recalled that the Minister had addressed a press conference in Abuja on Monday accusing the Governor of diverting funds in the state.
Speaking with Journalists in Makurdi, the Governor described the allegations as false, stressing that as a law abiding citizen he decided to approach the court where his name will be cleared.
He pointed out that what Akume did was a fabricated lies to ruin his reputation, stating that the Minister’s action was a deliberate attempt to sell out Benue State.
