Shuluwa knocks Gov Ortom over poor performance

Against the backdrop of lamentations of lack of finances to run the state,

Abu King Shuluwa, an All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain in Benue

state has called on the state Governor, Samuel Ortom, to stop giving

unwarranted excuses about his government's inability to meet the yearnings

of the indigenes and residents.
Chief Shuluwa who represented Benue at the Revenue Mobilisation,

Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) said it would be better for the

governor to look for ways of proffering solutions to the problems rather

than the blame game he has been engaged in.
Pointblanknews.com gathered that Shuluwa tactically shut Mr. Ortom up by

saying: “You can deceive the younger ones, but certainly not we the

elders. There is so much money in the state. There are major markets that

are generating revenues for the government.
“What happens to revenues being generated from Logo and Zaki Biam yam

markets, where between 80 and 90 trailers full of yams are sold out to

people from other parts of Nigeria.”, he queries.
The party loyalist reportedly spoke in Katsina-Ala at the townhall meeting

organised by the state government during which he asked the governor to do

eveverything possible within his constitutionally guaranteed powers to

mobilize resources to cushion the hardship of workers and other indigenes

of the state.
He reminded the governor that his fond cries have not solved any problem

bedevilling the state since he assumed dutyas chief executive officer.

Ortom had lamented the challenges confronting his administration due to

the economic crunch. The governor had explained that the economic

recession in the country had caused untold hardship, leading to his

government's inability to pay workers' salaries and deliver on his

campaign promises.
