It should be on record that Out-going Benue State Governor Samuel Ortom was nothing but a failed Governor of the state even by his own standard.
He also leaves with that reality that it's easy to make promises but very difficult to keep them.

As Governor Ortom completes his 8 years as governor, we ask, how well has Governor Ortom performed?

19/05/2023

After 8 Years as Governor, Gov. Samuel Ortom will leave Benue state worst than he met it.

Ortom's reign squandered close to a Trillion Naira that would have been used to develop the state.

Ortom has lowered the standard of Governance in the state and set the worst precedent imagined.....

Ortom's Benue is Broken and Dysfunctional

29/04/2023

Today 29th April 2023 means that in one month's time the regime of Governor Samuel Ortom will come to an end.
So Ortometer will assess how the government performed in the last 8 years.
Is Ortom leaving Benue state worse than he met it?
Ortometer will provide the answers.
