Probe: I‘ve nothing to hide, says Ortom

The immediate past governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom, says he is not afraid of the probe of his administration by incumbent Governor Hyacinth Alia.

Ortom said he has no reservations over steps taken by his successor to probe his eight-year regime in Benue State.

The former governor said this in a statement issued by his media aide, Terver Akase, on Tuesday, February 27, 2024.

Akase stated: “Ortom is willing to cooperate with the probe panels as long as the investigation is carried out in line with the law because his administration was built on transparency, accountability and good governance.

“Ortom is ready to provide any information or clarification, as may be required.

“He has urged all those who held political appointments in his administration to make themselves available whenever called upon to provide clarifications.”

Alia had, on Tuesday, inaugurated two commissions to probe the administration of Ortom from 2015 to 2023.

The two judicial commissions inaugurated by the governor were the Commission of Inquiry into the Income and Expenditures of Benue State Government from May 29, 2015, to May 28, 2023, and the Judicial Commission of Inquiry into the Sale/Lease of Government Assets.
