The media aide to former governor Samuel Ortom of Benue state, Terver Akase, says his principal has nothing to hide, hence not afraid to submit himself to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for questioning.
Akase made this claim in reaction to reports that agents of the anti-graft agencies were on the trail of his principal, maintained that the former governor had nothing to hide because he ran a transparent government.
“While we doubt the authenticity of the reports, it is pertinent to state categorically that His Excellency Samuel Ortom has nothing to hide and will be available if and whenever the EFCC invites him.
“Governor Ortom has repeatedly said that he ran a transparent administration and is willing to honour the invitation of any anti-corruption agency that wants to get clarifications on operations of his administration.”
A report had claimed that operatives of the anti-graft agency had moved into Benue State from Abuja with the intention of arresting the former governor for questioning.
