Ortom congratulates Lawan, Gbajabiamila, and others on the re-establishment of the Benue constituency

The Senate President, Senator Ahmed Lawal, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, have expressed their support for the restoration of the Agasha State Constituency, according to Benue State Governor Samuel Ortom.

On Monday, Governor Ortom spoke at the LGEA Primary School Gbajimba in Gbajimba, Guma Local Government Area, during the celebration of the restoration of the Agasha State Constituency.

Senators Emmanuel Orker Jev and Gabriel Suswam, as well as the entire state delegation to the National Assembly, were also thanked by the Governor for their tireless efforts to restore the state.

He claimed that if the various stakeholders had worked in opposition, the dream of restoring Agasha, Mata, and Mbagwa State Constituencies in Ushongo would not have come true.

Senators Gabriel Suswam of Benue North East and Orker Jev of Benue North West credited the restoration to unity of purpose and Governor Ortom’s support, stressing the importance of reviewing state constituencies on a regular basis as required by the constitution.
