Ortom is corrupt, let him jail me – Tsav slams Benue governor

The Commissioner in charge of Public Complaints Commission (PCC) in Benue, Alhaji Abubakar Tsav has vowed not to tender any apology for his comments about his state governor, Samuel Ortom.

Tsav insisted that he will not swallow his alleged damaging comments about Gov. Samuel Ortom as requested by the Tiv Traditional Council.
Speaking with newsmen on Wednesday in Makurdi, the Benue State capital, the outspoken activist said he stood by his letter where he urged the anti-graft and security agencies to investigate allegations of corruption against Ortom.Tsav in the said letter accused the governor of “executive recklessness,” and privatization of the state.

The 10-page letter dated May 16th, titled “Whistleblowing: Stagnation of Benue State,” was addressed to Ortom.

However, the leadership of the PCC in the country and Tiv traditional council recently waded into the matter and tried to reconcile Tsav and Ortom.

The reconciliation meeting advised Tsav to publicly apologize to the governor and retrieve all the petitions against him and any member of his cabinet within two weeks.

But Tsav told newsmen that he would not heed the advice, saying, “I stand by what I wrote: they should take me to court, jail me, it is one of the prices of activism.
