Ortom denies rift with Tor Tiv monarch before his death
Contrary to speculations that Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, was at loggerheads with the late Tor Tiv, Dr. Alfred Torkula, before his demise, the governor has said that he reconciled with his royal father before his death.
Ortom, who made the clarification during a prayer pilgrimage for peace organised by the Catholic Dioceses of Makurdi, Gboko and Katsina-Ala, held at the St. John the Baptist Cathedral in Gboko, stated that after his encounter with the paramount ruler shortly on his assumption of office, he requested permission from the paramount ruler who in turn summoned second class traditional rulers in Tivland and reconciled with them as well.
The governor said the reconciliation was expedient because the land needed repentance, forgiveness, reconciliation and restitution as the people desire peace and desire integration with one another.
