He says the condemnation of EFCC’s freezing of the state’s accounts with general outcry has made the organization to unfreeze the said accounts.
The Governor also thanks the Presidency for intervening to end impunity and the siege on the legislature.

Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, appreciates patriotiic Nigerians for their solidarity, support and prayers which have enabled the nation as well as Benue State to overcome the recent wave of impunity.

He says the development has deepened democracy which strives on the rule of law and due process.

The Governor believes that the nationwide condemnation which trailed the Police and DSS siege on the Benue State House of Assembly as well as the invasion of the National Assembly would be remembered and appreciated by patriots now and in the future.

He says the condemnation of EFCC’s freezing of the state’s accounts with general outcry has made the organization to unfreeze the said accounts.
The Governor also thanks the Presidency for intervening to end impunity and the siege on the legislature.

He appreciates Benue people for their support as well as religious and traditional leaders across the country who have stood by the truth and called for the protection of democracy.

The Governor thanks the Nigerian Governors’ Forum, civil society organisations and the media for being true defenders of democracy and advocates of justice, fairness and equity.

Governor Ortom wishes to assure Nigerians, particularly the people of Benue State, that he will not bow to intimidation and harassment aimed at bullying him into silence.

The Governor says he has not committed any offence by enacting a law prohibiting open grazing in the state and by choosing another political platform.
That he has only exercised his right to freedom of association as provided for in the country’s Consitution just as those who have left other parties for the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Governor Ortom stresses that his persecution and others on account of their defection is a direct attack on constitutional provisions which must be rejected by all patriots.
