Governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom has dismissed allegations that he was involved in the election of a new paramount ruler of the Idoma people, The Ochi’ Idoma.
This is as The Ochetoha K’Idoma, a sociocultural group, accused the governor of interfering in the selection process.
In a statement issued on Wednesday by his Chief press secretary, Mr Nathianiel Ikyur, the governor stated that he had no involvement in the selection process.
