Security Conduct Against Ortom While Welcoming Osinbajo Unfortunate – Governorship Aspirant

A Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governorship aspirant in Benue State, Terver Akase, has condemned the conduct of security personnel attached to the gate of the Air Force Base in Makurdi, who denied Governor Samuel Ortom entry while he was going to receive the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo earlier on Saturday.

Akase described the action of the security personnel as unfortunate and unwarranted in a democratic setting.

He said Governor Ortom did what was noble and commendable by going to receive the Vice President even when he was only passing through Benue to another state.

Akase, a former spokesman of Ortom, contended that if the Presidency did not set out to embarrass the Governor, why did it had to write and inform him about the Vice President’s visit.

He enjoined other Nigerians, particularly those aspiring for the office of governor across party lines, to condemn the action of the Makurdi Air Base security personnel, who were responsible for the incident, stressing that it can happen to anyone else tomorrow.
