Former Senate President, Senator David Mark, representing Benue South Senatorial District, had, while commissioning some projects in Port Harcourt, Rivers state on Monday mocked his state governor, Ortom for distributing wheelbarrows while Governor Wike was commissioning roads and bridges.
Some of the Wheelbarrows which Governor Ortom distributed to the youths in Benue as empowerment had written on them, “Gov. Ortom for you.”
David Mark, while commissioning the projects in Rivers had said, “While people are commissioning roads, commissioning bridges,
commissioning good projects, my own state Governor is empowering with wheelbarrow.
The Benue State governor, Samuel Ortom in his response to David Mark, has said Senator Mark is jealous of his achievements, a reason he made unsavoury comments about his developmental strides when he compared his (Ortom’s) developmental empowerment in Benue state with that of the Rivers state government led by Governor Nyesom Wike in a rather derogatory manner.
