‘While Others Are Commissioning Projects, You’re Sharing Wheel Barrows’, David Mark Carpets Gov Ortom

Recall that few days ago, the Benue governor allegedly distributed branded wheel barrows with his name, to youths in the state to empower them.

Although Ortom has since declared that he did not order anybody to write his name on the wheel barrows, the governor has received backlash from Nigerians.

The Senator, speaking at the Rivers state Government House during the commissioning of the remodelled Brick House, said while Ortom’s counterparts were commissioning roads and project, he was giving out wheel barrows.

He said, “Whilst people are here commissioning roads, commissioning projects and all other development projects brought to Rivers state, in my home state (Benue), they are giving out wheel barrows to empower people.

“This is not my first visit to commission projects in Rivers state. I was here less than a year ago to commission one of the roads; I noticed tremendous improvement in the delivery of democracy dividends.

“When the next election comes, you don’t need to bother with all manner of propaganda; these works would campaign for you.”
