Benue State Governor Samuel Ortom has fired back at former Senate President David Mark for recently mocking him over the alleged distribution of wheelbarrows to Benue youths.

Governor Ortom said Mark’s comment showed that he was only envious of his achievements after failing to make any impact as number three in the nation for eight years.

The governor in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Tever Akase, said “We listened to the comments made by the Senator Representing Benue South Senatorial District, David Mark, at a function in Port Harcourt where he compared developments in Rivers and Benue States.

“Mark accused Governor Samuel Ortom of ‘giving out wheelbarrows to empower people’ when, according to him, other states are commissioning projects.

“We do not intend to belabour the issue of wheelbarrows which we have already made clarification that the carts were donated by the National Commission for Refugees, Migrants and Internally Displaced Persons, NCFRMI, for victims of armed herdsmen attacks in the state. Perhaps only Senator David Mark is not aware of this fact.

“Mark’s statements smack of a man who has obviously been disconnected with the very people who voted him. His utterances also exude envy against Governor Ortom who is succeeding where Mark has failed. In Benue South which Senator Mark represents, the Ortom administration has embarked on a number of projects for the people".
 
they should all be challenged by trending development in other states so that they wake up to their due responsibilities. Empowering the youths with wheelbarrow is not good neither not doing anything at all.
