Abubakar Tsav: "Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, Backs Like a Dog". In response to the Governors Comment on his identity.

         

Alhaji Abubakar Tsav, former commissioner of police in Lagos State, has described Benue State governor, Samuel Ortom as a panchromatic liar. Tsav was reacting to Ortom's recent statement that he is not a Tiv man and should relocate to Kano where he belongs. The former police boss in a statement advised the governor to facing his ailing government and stop barking like "bingo".

He said, "Ordinarily, I wouldn't have liked to comment on such idle and irresponsible utterances by an empty headed and primitive Supposed Governor who knows next to nothing, but for his overzealous thugs and brainless loyalists, who may like to play a fast one, I want to say this. I am old enough and ripe for death. Besides what has taken away my father, mother and son will not spare me.

"So I fear no death but pray for a good death. I am only saddened that a Motor Park Tout, a blockhead and graduate of Adult Education Class is presiding over Benue State as its Governor when we have many experienced, knowledgable and highly educated Tiv Sons and daughters who can do us proud in this position. 

"Unfortunately Stomach infrastructure has ruined us as a people. I belong to the class of Tiv of yesteryears who were respectable and responsible not the present crop of liars, dishonest, disrespectful, vagabonds and educated illiterates. If Samuel Ortom truly believes that I am involved in any fraud, he should refer my case to any anti graft agency in the country or otherwise, stop barking like BINGO.

"I have cases of fraud against him. Samuel Ortom is a panchromatic liar who is blank as a blank ammunition. He is even short of ideas. Imagine, him asking civil servants to go to farm to harvest crops on Fridays. What crops? When did they farm and where did they earn money to farm?

"Has he ever taken time to visit any private farm in Benue State apart from his own farms which he is using Government resources to develop? Has he ever visited a private farm to assess the grade and level of job done in such farms? I appeal to people who have the Governor's listening ears to pay salaries and Pensions of workers and pensioners in stead of wasting money on phony Contracts for purpose of generating kickbacks."
