Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom has discredited suggestions by the All Progressives Congress, APC, accusing him of amplifying the debt profile of the State from N20 billion to N200 billion.
The Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Nathaniel Ikyur, described the suggestions as a cheap blackmail and falsehood by the opposition to get power in the State in 2023.
Ikyur noted that the allegations are out of tune with the character of one who wishes to be trusted with State power.
