WHY I WILL CONTINUE TO SERVE THE LORD-ORTOM
GOVERNOR SAMUEL ORTOM OF BENUE STATE
Benue state governor, Samuel Ortom, has said 13 different groups told him to consult with the gods to make him governor in 2015 but he rejected their calls and relied on God who made his ambition a reality.
Ortom who disclosed this on the occasion of a thanksgiving service held in honour of himself and his wife, Eunice, at the Sounds and Wonders Mega Parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, along Gboko road, yesterday, explained that his governorship was predicated on the fear of God.
He said as soon as he was declared governor, he proceeded to the Mega Parish to dedicate his victory to God.
He described the pastor in-charge of the parish, Mike Ayanbode, as a true prophet because everything he said about his governorship race came to pass
Governor Ortom said since he dedicated the state to God in May last year, many successes have been recorded.
According to him, the amnesty programme brought about the recovery of over 900 arms and ammunition from over 700 persons who willingly surrendered
them and added that the chieftaincy law was amended and successfully implemented.
He stated further that a new Tor Tiv who is not only a Christian but a pastor was selected in a transparent manner and noted that the anti-open grazing law enacted by the state government has become a model.
The governor maintained that God heard the prayer of Benue people and other Nigerians and healed President Muhammadu Buhari and pointed out that the only challenge his administration is facing is payment of salaries.
Governor Ortom said over N4 billion of the N107 billion allegedly diverted by the previous administration has been recovered and promised that serious efforts would continue to be made until the salary problem substantially reduces.
he said the birthday of his wife, Dr (Mrs) Eunice Ortom, and the outgoing pastor of the Sounds and Wonders Mega Parish, Mike Ayanbode, who presides over Province One coincided with the thanksgiving service.
He described his wife as the inestimable jewelry of his family and commended Pastor Ayanbode for being instrumental to the creation of four provinces in Benue.
Earlier, Mrs Ortom had said she faced many challenges in the past but God helped her to overcome them.
While maintaining that the greatest thing that binds people together is love, she said if God gives her another chance to marry, she would still marry Samuel Ortom.
Pastor Mike Ayanbode, on his part, said over the years, he discovered Ortom and his wife to be very sincere persons and urged Benue people to give them the needed support.
