COALITION OF SOUTHERN AND MIDDLE BELT YOUTH LEADERS ASSEMBLY (COSMBYLA).
.
The Coalition of Southern and Middle Belt Youth Leaders Assembly, COSMBYLA, the umbrella body of all the youth groups in South East, South South, South West and Middle Belt region commend the Executive Governor of Benue State Dr Samuel Ortom for massive projects he has done and is still doing for the good people of Benue State despite having 2 million Internally Displaced Persons, IDPs, to feed daily created by the Fulani terrorists and Jihadists parading as herdsmen.
We are very aware that the sponsors of the rampaging Fulani terrorists who have been unleashing mayhem on the state, embarked on such unholy project of killing Benue indigenes in other to distract Governor Samuel Ortom who is known for matchless performance and dedication to duty at all times.
The 2 million IDPs created by the murderous activities of Fulani terrorists is a well calculated political evil plot by enemies of the state who gathered to pull-down and discredit the wonderful administration of the State Governor but Governor Ortom disappointed the expectation of his enemies and enemies of the state by putting on ground legacy projects like his counterpart Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State who Commission projects on weekly basis.
If Governor Wike Commission projects this week, the next week, Governor Samuel Ortom will Commission projects despite the lean resources of the state, attacks by Fulani terrorists and the heavy financial burden of feeding, clothing, and medical care of 2 million IDPs on daily basis. The ability of Dr Ortom to deliver democracy dividends to his people despite the security challenges he is facing in his state and the IDPs financial burden is a clear testament of his love for Benue people.
Governor Ortom has always stood on the side of his people at all times and has never reneged on his oath which he took on the day he was sworn-in as the executive governor of the state. He is a role model for inspiring leaders.
The transformational performance of Dr. Ortom showed that he came prepared for governance which is why the enemies of the state can't believe their eyes and are in doubt that despite all their evil machinations against the state using the Fulani terrorists, Dr. Ortom was not distracted from his determination to serve his people dutifully. What an enigma!
Governor Ortom's ability to perform excellently despite all this challenges is one of the seven wonders of the world. He has done well, we commend him.
Some of the legacy projects by Governor Ortom which we are very satisfied and proud with the quality and the contractors that handled the projects are 9.4km Tse-poor Apir road renamed Ayua Num road, Yaikyo-Tse poor road now Chief Sule Abenga road, George Akume NKST Tina road now renamed Senator JKN Waku road, Kaanga - Akaya - Lucy Aluor - Otukpo road renamed Nyesom Wike road, Low Cost Housing Estate - Bambam road now renamed after Chief J. C Obande road , and 14KM electrification projects at The poor - Mbanima substation and distribution line just to mention but a few.
So many other projects are on-going in the state as the contractors handling the projects are working day and night to deliver on the agreed stipulated time of completion. Ortom is really working.
Birds of the same feather the say flocks together, Ortom's signatures in all the nooks and crannies of the state which gave him the name "Mr Project" in Benue State is the true reason why he is Governor Wike's best friend who is "Mr Project" in Rivers State. Truly a Lion can only move with its kind.
We therefore urge the good people of Benue State to rally round their Governor Dr Samuel Ortom who has taking the state to greater heights via undeniable legacy projects.
