Federal Government Has Betrayed Me, I Can't Pay Salaries - Gov Samuel Ortom


Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State has revealed why he cannot pay salaries and sustain the state.

Ortom, who appeared on Arise TV on Wednesday morning, said he could not pay salaries and sustain Benue because of the Federal Government.

According to him, the Federal Government has refused to support him in getting a loan from the bank to offset the arrears of salaries in Benue.

Ortom said, “It is very simple, this is the blackmail of the federal government against me who is speaking the truth against the injustices that have been perpetrated against my state and against other parts of Nigeria.

“Go and ask them what they did in other states, did they not support the states in paying salaries.

“Just two weeks ago, I applied to collect a loan not from the federal government from the bank to offset the arrears of salaries that are inherited over 70 billion naira, the federal government rejected it because I refused to join them in the APC.

“If they had given me that money, I would have cleared it and then nobody would have been talking about issues of arrears of salaries. I have been paying salaries since 2018, when the stakeholders met and said I should pay and what is left is the arrears of salaries.

“And the federal government has refused to support me, they frustrate me. I have tried to borrow money to pay them but they said no.”

Corona Virus and the Defeated Human Race .                  Today, the world is becoming a cemetery. For the first time since the Roman Empire begun the building of St. Peter’s Basiliaca on April 18, 1506 and ended in 1626, masses were not held in that world largest church. This is where the pope who lives at the Vatican often says masses. What a colossal defeat? Elsewhere, for the first time in the history of Islam, no prayer was held at Masjid Al Haram & Masjid An Nabwi in Mecca. Since Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) introduced Islam almost 1400 years ago, nothing near to this is heard. For the first time in human history, the two most powerful world’s religions with “cat-eat-dog” manifestations which seem to have occupied human sub-consciousness beyond humanity itself is bizarrely and serially cheated.                Astonishingly, for the first t...
