Senator Mark and Governor Ortom
Former President of the Senate, David Mark, has congratulated Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, on the occasion of his 61st birthday.
Senator Mark in his goodwill message released on Saturday by his Special Adviser, Paul Mumeh, urged Ortom to sustain the peace and unity of the people of the state.
He praised Ortom’s indomitable spirit in defense of the state so far and told him to remain resolute saying: “The security and welfare of our citizens is paramount and must not be compromised”.
The former Senate helmsman also told Governor Ortom to ensure that the principle of fairness, equity and justices is upheld at all times in the administration of the state.
He told the governor: “You will continue to enjoy the loyalty and support of the people of the state if you maintain balance, fairness, equity and justices in affairs of the state.”
Mark reminded Ortom of the need to bequeath a legacy of peace and unity which has characterized his leadership so far in order to further cement the bonds of brotherhood among the various ethnic groups in the state.
He wished the governor good health, wisdom and courage in the years to come.
