Even Jesus Christ did not go to school – APC defends Ortom for nominating primary school cert holder as commissioner

By James Ewaoche Amedu
The All Progressives Congress, Benue State Chapter has declared that there as nothing wrong with the nomination of Comrade Joe Shimaor as commissioner.

Shimaor, a native of Kwande was nominated to replace the sacked Nick Wended from the same LG.
However, findings have shown that the nominee did not go beyond primary school in his resume submitted to the Benue State House of Assembly.


Blowing the whistle, social media activist, Solomon Samenka said wondered why Governor Samuel Ortom opted for a academically half-baked person as a commissioner.
He wrote, “Ortom nominated a commissioner nominee from Kwande to replace the sacked Nick Wende.
The man finished his primary school in 1972.
The didn’t see any secondary school to attend and write his SSCE, so he decided to wait until 2005 to write GCE as a private candidate after almost 30 years. Is ok. Is ok.. God is watching..
I also read that he did a certificate in library science in 2001, and another diploma in 2005 so I’m confused now.
Did he actually run the certificate course and diploma before coming to write the private GCE?
Or was the person who wrote the cv mixing up the years since nothing like that actually happened?
His excellency, you can decide to collect local government allocations or Paris club and give to your friends and nothing will happen but something will happen if you decide to carry responsibility and give to unqualified persons.
How can you live primary school in 1972 and do diploma before writing GCE at home IN 2001 2005?
Haba.. What did you use in applying for your diploma?
His Excellency, sir, the manager of your company ORACLE has a master’s degree ” why do you bring a primary school certificate holder with backdated and post dated diplomas to be a member of your kitchen cabinet?
Appoint him as MD of Oracle let’s test his capacity since you so much believe in him..
We say #noto post dated and backdated diploma commissioner nominees..we want you to know that we Warned you…
I challenge Tahav Agerzua and Terver Akase to provide the CVS of the nominees here to contradict me.

In a quick reaction, the Acting Publicity Secrtary of the APC, Berger Alfred Emberga said there was nothing wrong, nothing that even Jesus Christ never attended any formal school but people called him ‘teacher’
His reaction did not go down well with many people who lampooned him for trying to juxtaposed a commissioner nominee with Jesus Christ.
