Speaking during the Interdenominational Independence Thanksgiving Service organized by the State Chapter of Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, in collaboration with the Benue State Government, he said the teething challenges facing the country culminating in high-level corruption, insecurity, impunity and marginalization necessitated his call.
He said the sovereign national conference would provide the platform for frank discussions to strengthen the unity, peace and security of the country. The Governor also called for the implementation of recommendations of the 2014 National Confab convened by former President Goodluck Jonathan, pointing out that the conference proffered solutions to the multifaceted problems confronting Nigeria.
He said at 60, Nigeria is in need of leaders who can steer the ship of development for the country and restore confidence in the minds of the people. Governor Ortom appreciated the State Chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, for always supporting his administration through prayers, saying the state had crossed many hurdles due to divine mercies.He, however, kicked against the intended regulation of the Church by the Federal Government through the Company and Allied Matters Act, CAMA 2020, saying the legislation would amount to dabbling into affairs of the Church when the government could not manage its agencies well.
It should.
