Governor Samuel Ortom has refuted claims made by his political detractors that he is the leader of wizards in Benue state, describing it as a “fallacy and laughable’’ allegation.
Ortom was recently described as a wizard by members of the opposition party in the state.
The state governor dismissed the allegation, saying he is a bornagain child. He said this when he spoke at the opening ceremony of a two-day Governor’s Retreat for Benue Government Appointees in Makurdi, the state capital today October 24th.
“I heard some people saying Ortom is the leader of wizards in Benue but it is not true, I am a child of God. I became born again in 1979 and since then God has been grateful to me.
I was at a burial somewhere and people accused me of using Bible to do witchcraft. They said I should not be allowed to quote the Bible that if I did the people will become speechless’’ Ortom said
