Benue: Terver Akase speaks on ‘plans’ to succeed Ortom as governor in 2023

The Chief Press Secretary to the Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, Tever Akase, has declared that he has no governorship ambition ahead of 2023.

Akase stated this in reaction to a report by a local newspaper which named him among some possible young Nigerians who may feature prominently in the 2023 governorship election across Nigeria.

The governor’s Media Aide stated this in a terse statement he signed and forwarded to DAILY POST, on Friday.

“I have seen my picture among others on the front page of The Pivot newspaper with a caption, “Young persons who may feature prominently in the 2023 governorship election.

“Though the newspaper used the word ‘may’ in the said caption, I wish to unambiguously state that I do not have 2023 governorship ambition,” the statement reads.
