Ameh Comrade Godwin: 10 mistakes Samuel Ortom should not make as Benue State Governor

Samuel-OrtomI was shocked reading online recently of my inclusion among the Benue natives who used social media to chase PDP out of the state.
Well, before I accept that commendation, I need to make some clarifications here. No doubt, I was one of those who campaigned tirelessly for change in Benue State. But my campaign was not against any political party but personality.
The battle started few years back when I teamed up with my friend, Enenche Enenche to campaign for the reconstruction of Otukpo-Otukpa road.

When our cries got to the chief priest of our political shrine, the road was fixed (though not complete at the moment) -that is what I call change.
In 2007, I was also among other persons who insisted that power should move to Benue south, but the then Governor, George Akume overpowered us and installed his beloved son, Suswam.
Suswam on assuming office promised to hand over to an Idoma person in 2015.
The governor made this solemn pledge before the Idoma community shrine and he won the heart of the people in 2011 and he was voted in for second term.
