Former Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State addressing guests in Port Harcourt at a new year luncheon organized by the current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Barrister Nyesom Wike while Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, former Governor of Anambra State (L) looks on.
Samuel Ortom, former Governor of Benue State and a close associate of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory says he is satisfied with the disposition of Governor Siminalayi Fubara towards ensuring that peace reigns in Rivers State.
The frontline member of the G5 who spoke in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, during a luncheon revealed that there is something that he admires about Fubara’s demeanour.
Noting that Rivers State has always been tranquil and stable, Ortom stressed that he is totally impressed by the commitment of the State Governor to the enhancement of peace and stability in the State.
“I want to say one last thing to the people of Rivers State, including our brother the governor”, former Governor Samuel Ortom remarked at the country home of Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory.
Wike had invited Ortom and other political heavyweights to Port Harcourt to wine and dine as part of the new year celebration.
Fubara was however conspicuously absent, but Ortom singled out the governor’s desire for peace as something that was worthy of mention.
Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State, acknowledged as a man of peace by Samuel Ortom, former Governor of Benue State.
“I treasure and value what he (Fubara) said when he said that no amount of sacrifice is too great for the sake of peace. Let that be his motto in life.
“Cooperation is essential, and Rivers State needs to be at peace. Nobody in Rivers State needs to introduce a crisis. Rivers State must maintain its reputation as a tranquil state”, Ortom added.
