Ortom Rejects Benue Probe Report, Calls It Political Witch-Hunt

Former Benue State Governor Samuel Ortom has publicly rejected the findings of the Benue State Income and Expenditure Commission of Inquiry. Ortom asserts that the commission's investigation was a politically motivated "witch-hunt" orchestrated by the current administration led by Governor Hyacinth Alia.

The former governor's strong denouncement signals a significant political rift and disagreement over the legitimacy and purpose of the probe. The commission was established to scrutinize the state's finances during Ortom's tenure, and its report appears to have been met with fierce opposition from the former executive.

Ortom's rejection implies a deep distrust in the process and its outcomes. The accusation of a "political witch-hunt" suggests he believes the inquiry was designed to target him rather than to ensure financial accountability. The situation highlights ongoing political tensions and power struggles within Benue State.
