EFCC: Don’t disgrace former Governors, go there and respond – Ortom tells Yahaya Bello

Former Benue State Governor Samuel Ortom has called upon his Kogi State counterpart, Yahaya Bello, to emerge from seclusion and address the allegations against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Ortom delivered this counsel during a thanksgiving service held at the Redeemed Church in Makurdi on Sunday, April 29, organized by his aides to commemorate his 63rd birthday anniversary. He urged the embattled former governor of Kogi State to step forward and provide a defense for his administration.

“I want to use this opportunity to advise my younger brother and friend, Governor Yahaya Bello, not to disgrace former governors. You don’t need to hide; you don’t need to resist arrest or anything. Go there and respond. EFCC are human beings. If they are making enquiries, the laws are there. I have tried to get him on the phone, but I could not; I have tried those around him, but I could not, so I want this to be noted. So wherever he is, if he can hear me, thank God the press is here, he should come out,” Mr Ortom said
