Ortom, was speaking
on Wednesday August 12, during the International Youth celebration held at new
banquet hall, Makurdi.
According to Ortom,
leaders including himself, have failed to lead the country properly, adding
that the fight against corruption by the federal government was selective.
“Let me say here
that the leaders in this country have failed, me inclusive. It Is a big shame
to us leaders, we must ask for forgiveness from God. And I implore you that you
shouldn’t take after us. Greed is a big challenge. The path we are toying is
the wrong one for us. There is a challenge.
“The rule of law is
selective, there are sacred cows that cannot be touched, even if they do bad
things, they cannot be touched.
“People steal
billions and they are allowed to go scot-free while those who steal chickens
are jailed,” the governor added.
