Ortom, who spoke through his Media Aide, Terver Akase denied the allegation by Benue State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Fidelis Mnyim that his administration bequeathed a debt profile of over N14 billion as consent judgment to the present government. 'What the Justice Commissioner said was one in a series of media outings by the Alia administration aimed at dragging the name of the former governor and his administration to disrepute,' Akase said.
'To ameliorate the situation in his usual humanitarian disposition, Governor Ortom decided that the senior citizens had served the state meritoriously so his government would not enter defense against them in court, and he opted for amicable resolution of the cases. 'The State Government had an agreement with the retirees and was paying their arrears of pensions and gratuities as funds permitted.
