Gov Ortom condemns attack on Social Media Personality,Ukan Kurugh.

The governor in a swift reaction after the news went viral released a statement through his press secretary Akase Terver, stated that

"A government which has enacted a law prohibiting cultism, kidnapping, thuggery and all other criminal acts for the first time in the history of the state will surely not permit anyone to molest innocent members of the public.

The reported man-handling of Ukan Kurugh in Gboko is therefore condemned even as we await police investigation into the matter.

The Samuel Ortom administration has demonstrated maturity and uncommon capacity to tolerate divergent opinions on issues of governance. This is a clear departure from what happened in the past.

This administration encourages the people of the state at all times to have a say in the way they are governed as a number of communication channels have been made available to the public.

As Governor Ortom has often stressed, the state will be a better place if people are free to bring forth their ideas for development. The social media in particular offers us a free and realtime platform which has fostered the relationship between government and the people.

Youths of the state must eschew violence and learn to accommodate one another in the marketplace of ideas".
