Nkyur further stressed that the governor “is a stickler for the rule of law. He has never used thugs either during elections or at any other time and so does not patronise them, contrary to the claims by the former council chairman.
“It is a fact that Governor Ortom facilitated the nomination and subsequent election of Hon Asawa as the Executive Chairman of Ushongo Local Government in 2020. He will, therefore, won’t go back to destroy what he helped build.” He added, “From the outbursts of Hon Asawa, it is obvious that he wants to take advantage of the call for fairness and equity by the G-5 Governors, which Governor Ortom is a member to be recognised by the camp of the presidential candidate of our party.”
The media aide urged the general public to discountenance the claims of the former Ushongo chairman that the thugs who allegedly manhandled him during the campaign rally were sent by the governor.All rights reserved.
