Former President of the Senate, Senator David Mark has described the Governor of Benue State, Dr. Samuel Ortom as an uncommon political leader and a man of the people.
Paying a glowing tribute to the Governor who turned 59 years old today, Senator Mark noted that Ortom is a “brave soldier” and political tactician who knows the roadmap and fully commits himself to the wellbeing of his people.

“Ortom’s political trajectory in the contemporary Nigeria especially in Benue State where he navigates to victory in spite of all odds places him above his peers. He has fought titanic battles to defend the Benue valley and kept the people united”, the former Senate President stated.

Besides, Senator Mark pointed out that Governor Ortom’s people-oriented policies and programs which touches directly on the wellbeing of the people particularly the downtrodden, endeared him to Nigerians across board.

He therefore enjoined the Governor not to rest on his oars but continue to sustain and improve on the good works of delivering the dividends of democracy to the nooks and crannies of Benue State.
