Question : Why

Alright. You see Ortom failed when we came in 2014 and said "Let governance be about the people" we meant business but since Ortom came in its sad that he lied and deceived the Igede people. I was in a town hall meeting in Omi'Ny Igede hall where he promised he was going to give the Igede people secretary to the state government, he also promised to Reconstruct the Oju-Awaji which has become a night mare. College of Education Oju, is the only industry the Igede has yet no Son or Daughter of Igede has been given employment to that institution but you will be seeing different faces of Tiv people that are newly employed. Infrastructure Zero yet work is on going in other local government of the state. Haven said that our political office holders are also part of the problems

Question : Have there been any attempt so far to draw the attention of his excellency to his earlier promises

 

The problem of APC in Benue Igede in particular is discrimination and factions. The people in Government are docile while others who are ready to talk to the government are been push out let me use myself as a case study, I am the Director media and publicity of Rt Hon Emmanuel Jime campaign organization of cause by my position if at all the instructions given to Ortom by the president works the Government would have accommodated us. In summary those who are ready to draw the government attention to its ill are been shielded

Question: Do you agree that our own political leaders from the igede extration are part of our own problems?

Yes but I mentioned that earlier

Question :As a political stakeholder what is the future of APC in Igede going by the prevailing situation?

Hmmmmmm am afraid because those who Laboured to ensure the party's victory where pushed out and the sojourners(decampees) are the once benefiting and the youths and women are not happy about that, civil servants are not left out because some sympathies with the party yet their salaries were not paid, Business men and women are complaining of multiple taxation.

Question: Recent developments shows that some political class are deeply involved in the race for the selection of Adutu , what is your position on this development?

It's quiet Unfortunate that politicians are involved. This issue of Adirahu Igede should be left in the hands of the king makers Igabour, the involvement of politicians in the race is wrong and it signifies danger because the process is no longer secret
