Jail me, I stand by my corruption accusation against Ortom, says Tsav


The Commissioner in charge of the Public Complaints Commission in Benue, Alhaji Abubakar Tsav, says he will not retract his alleged damaging comments about Gov . Samuel Ortom as requested by the Tiv Traditional Council.
Tsav said on Wednesday in Makurdi that he stood by his letter where he urged the anti graft and security agencies to investigate allegations of corruption against Ortom .
Tsav in the said letter accused the governor of “ executive recklessness ” and privatization of the state .
The 10-page letter dated May 16th , titled “ Whistleblowing: Stagnation of Benue State ” was addressed to Gov. Ortom .
Tsav also made copies of the letter available to the NAN Makurdi and all the anti-graft agencies in the country.
He accused Ortom of “ corruptive nepotism and executive recklessness ”, alleging that the governor has placed his family business, Oracle Business Limited, above the state , claiming that the action represents a conflict of interest.
However, the leadership of the PCC in the country and Tiv traditional council had waded into the matter and tried to reconcile Tsav and Ortom.
The reconciliation meeting advised Tsav to publicly apologize to the governor and retrieve all the petitions against him and any member of his cabinet within two weeks.
