Ortom opens up on Nigeria’s problem, says, we have everything we need, what is lacking is equity, fairness, and justice
Benue state Governor, Samuel Ortom has declared that one of the problems facing Nigeria is lack of equity, fairness and justice.
Ortom who lost his bid to be at the Senate said this much in a statement he released to the media on Tuesday while commissioning a school project in Rivers state.
The statement with the headline…I’M NOT DETERRED FROM STANDING FOR EQUITY, FAIRNESS AND JUSTICE EVEN AFTER LOSING ELECTION read in part… “We have everything we need in Nigeria, what is lacking is equity, fairness, and justice…”
Ortom was quick to add…”The Bible says you shall know the truth and the truth will set you free. And until we get to that level of saying the truth, and standing by the truth, we cannot get anywhere. I could be a victim of fighting for justice, equity and fairness but that does not deter me and I am not standing here as a defeated person.
“I stand tall and I give glory to the Almighty God because the Bible says that many are the afflictions of the righteous but the Lord God will deliver him from all,” stressing that “all things worketh together for good for those that love God and are called according to His purpose.”
