Immediate past governor of Benue State, Chief Samuel Ortom, has congratulated President Bola Tinubu on Thursday’s affirmation of his election victory by the Supreme Court.
Ortom, in a statement signed by his Media Aide, Terver Akase, said it was now time to move beyond politics and support President Tinubu to govern and deliver dividends to the citizens.
He described the judgment as a victory for democracy and the independence of the country’s democratic institutions. He appealed to Nigerians to put aside political differences and rally behind President Tinubu as he steers the ship of the country’s development “at this trying time.” The former governor commended President Tinubu’s commitment to economic reforms, which he said might be difficult at the moment but will certainly yield positive results in the long run.
According to him, President Tinubu’s visionary policies and pragmatic approach to governance had the potential of fostering a conducive environment for business growth, job creation, and sustainable development.
Ortom expressed belief that for Nigeria to prosper, it must begin to produce what its citizens consume and consume what it produces. This, he said, could be achieved by creating the enabling environment for the productive sector to thrive. He urged the President to remain steadfast in his efforts to address the various challenges facing the nation, including youth unemployment and infrastructure development just as he assured President Tinubu of his unreserved support and prayers at all times.
