Benue: Nigeria Air Force under fire for disrespecting Gov Ortom

Frontline Peoples Democratic Party, PDP Governorship aspirant in Benue State, Mr Terver Akase condemns the conduct of security personnel attached to the gate of the Air Force Base Makurdi who denied Governor Samuel Ortom entry while he was going to receive the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo earlier today.

Mr Akase describes the action of the security personnel as unfortunate and unwarranted in a democratic setting.

He says Governor Ortom did what was noble and commendable going to receive the Vice President even when he was only passing through Benue to another state.

Mr Akase contends that if the Presidency did not set out to embarrass the Governor, why did it have to write and inform him about the Vice President’s visit?

He enjoins other Nigerians, particularly those aspiring for the office of Governor across party lines, to condemn the action of the Makurdi Air Base security personnel who were responsible for the incident, stressing that it can happen to anyone else tomorrow.

The 2023 governorship hopeful urges public servants assigned national duties to always be professional and relate with Nigerians irrespective of political affiliation.
