Rose Ejembi, Makurdi
Ahead of the 2019 general elections, Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State has called on security agencies to go after those engaging in votes buying in the state.
Governor Ortom made the call in a chat with newsmen at government House Makurdi, on Wednesday.
He accused members of some political parties especially the All Progressives Congress (APC) of collecting permanent voter cards (PVCs) from unsuspecting members of the public and buying same on the pretext that they would be enrolled in the Federal Government school feeding programme.
Governor Ortom said he had already alerted security agencies about the development even as he urged Benue electorates to guard and protect their PVCs jealously and never allow anyone collect it from them under whatever guise.
