Rumours I Have Been Nominated For Ministerial Appointment False- Ortom

Samuel Ortom,  immediate past Governor of Benue State, has denied reports making the rounds that President Bola Tinubu nominated him for a ministerial appointment.

Online reports purporting that the former governor was part of those who made the awaited ministerial list have trended in recent days.

But the governor, in a statement issued by his media aide, Terver Akase, described the report as fake and misleading, asking members of the public to disregard it.

The statement reads, “The attention of the immediate past Governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom has been drawn to the speculation on social media that he has been nominated for a ministerial appointment.

“We urge members of the public to disregard the report as it is false and misleading.

“Chief Ortom deeply appreciates those who have taken time to call and verify the information”.
