As PMB approves $1bn for campaigns, Governor Ortom puts up all our companies for sale. There’s no end to this APC madness. Anyone who buys any of these companies must take precaution. We will revoke it inevitably. RIP Aper Aku. Your legacies live on. pic.twitter.com/3UB3RyUKLF

Let nobody fool you. Government can do business, very well and effectively and efficiently too. We employ the thieving ones to manage them, that’s why they don’t succeed. We will resist the erosion of the legacies of Aper Aku.

You were not this hasty in fixing Benue State for over 3 years. Why the haste now? Leave the legacies of Aper Aku alone @GovSamuelOrtom pic.twitter.com/gfWG2nNCI7
