AARE ABIODUN OLUWAROTIMI LIES YET AGAIN!!!
ORTOM HAS NOT DIVERTED VEHICLE FUNDS
Our attention has been drawn to a report being circulated on the social media by a well known sponsored mercenary outfit owned by one Aare Abiodun Oluwarotimi that Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, diverted part of funds meant for the purchase of official vehicles.
The general public might wish to be reminded that the vehicles being referred to were bought at the inception of the administration in 2015 and that their purchase was made public.
With the subsequent escalation of the exchange rate the purchase of the vehicles at that time indicated the foresight of the Governor and his administration which would have paid almost double or more the price for the necessity if the purchase was made later.
Incidentally, the smear outfit has resurrected the issue of vehicles bought in 2015 when his sponsor, the former Governor Gabriel Suswam, has been arrested in connection with several issues including the possession of the keys of 45 exotic cars.
This publication is no doubt a deliberate effort to divert attention from the arrest and to cast Governor Ortom in the same mould and image of a dealer in exotic cars like that of his predecessor.
We enjoin members of the public to disregard the report as Governor Ortom has not diverted any vehicle funds and is not being investigated for any such issues.

Tahav Agerzua, Special Adviser, Media and ICT.
