Today is a great day to all of us gathered here to witness the endorsement of our amiable Governor, Chief Samuel Ortom by the Igede Positive Youths. We count it a rare privilege and we thank the Almighty God for making this day a reality and to you for the opportunity granted to s in spite of the crowded nature of your schedule.

Indeed we are happy to be counted among the numerous admirers of this administration, to be specific, let me say that we are proud by the grace of God to be part of the group, the foot soldiers which install this administration which have yielded the dividends and sought about the victory and joy that we and indeed the Benue People are sharing today.

The foresight and the collective faith we and the good people of Benue have in the able and dynamics leadership of your Excellency heightened our collective resolve and to work assiduously for the enthronement of this administration, we consider it worthwhile to express our sincere appreciation to God for the well- matched , like minded and compatible pair, and to say a very big congratulations for making yourself an instrument of God in this regards, especially in the struggle to deliver Benue people from the doldrums of acute poverty and underdevelopment.

Your Excellency Sir, when you came in as Governor 29^th May 2015, you met a lot of challenges ranging from shortage of funds compared to what was coming into the state as her allocation, security problems, poverty and underdevelopment. You started work of rebuilding Benue just like what Nehemiah did in the Bible which met with stiff neck people like Sanballat and Tobias trying to stop your good work and the Ahitophes who were bent on given advices that would prevent you from doing the good work that God laid in your heart for Benue People , but today , God has helped you so far and we can count even with the lean resources what and what you have done for the people of the state whom you have come to govern and in particular Igede Nation.

Your Excellency Sir, we have watched keenly this administration’s effort to put Benue State in the front banner, we want to appreciate you for that and to say thank you that Igede Nation is not left out in all your programmes. Your gaint strides in the areas of agriculture (you have built and equipped for use the Beneseed clearing and processing plant at Oju Local Government), when this is fully put to use , our Beneseed would be exported to other countries of the world , we say thank you Sir. Health, (graduation of three sets of medical students from Benue State University, of which Igede sons are among, building and equipping of four primary health care in Oju, provision of Aso Rock Villa standard ambulance to Oju General Hospital, this may sound funny, but in critical situations of health, what we have in Oju General hospital can help take care of emergency. We say thank you Sir. Infrastructural developments such as rural roads, the ongoing Oju-Obusa-Idelle- Utonkon rod which you have mobilized back to site and they are working, rural electrification at Ibilla and Uje are all your strides. Education: construction/ renovation of over 700 classrooms across that state with a lot of these in both Oju and Obi to boost healthy school environment for greater learning. Social welfare schemes for women, N-power targeted at the youths of which many Igede sons and daughters are beneficiaries. Click to read more
