Immediate past governor of Benue Governor, Chief Samuel Ortom, has asked Mr Yahaya Bello, former governor of Kogi State to stop hiding.
Chief Ortom made appeal while speaking at the Redeemed Church in Makurdi during the thanksgiving service organized by his aides to mark his 63rd birthday anniversary.
He urged Mr Bello to come out and answeo his case with the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) and defend his administration.
Chief Ortom pointed out that by hiding, Mr Yahaya was bringing disgrace to former governors across the country.
“I want to use this opportunity to advise my younger brother and friend, Governor Yahaya Bello, not to disgrace former governors.
” You don’t need to hide, you don’t need to resist arrest or anything. Go there and respond.
“EFCC are human beings. If they are making inquiries, the laws are there. I have tried to get him on the phone but, I could not, I have tried those around him but I could not so I want this to be noted.
“So wherever he is, if he can hear me, thank God the press are here, he should come out.”
