Mr Emmanuel Jime, the All Progressives Congress
(APC), governorship candidate in Benue, has said
that he would not probe the activities of the
incumbent governor, Samuel Ortom, if he
succeeded him.
“If elected as governor of Benue, I will focus on
driving development goals rather than embarking
on probe panels that are vindictive and vengeful,â€
Jime told newsmen, on Wednesday in Makurdi.
He said that the task of fixing the state’s
damaged economy and public infrastructure was
paramount to him.

“I will not have the luxury of probing anybody. I
believe that there is lot of work that needs to be
done. But, if the legislature decides that there are
things it needs to look into, I will not intervene or
stop such inquiry,†he said.
Jime declared that he was not a vengeful persons
and had no hatred for anyone.
“If elected, I intend to hit the ground running
because I will have a four-year term during which
I intend to deliver services to the Benue people.
“I will ensure that every single day will count for
me. If one wastes time thinking and looking
backward, you are likely to lose focus.
“This whole point of getting into office to start
probing the past, that is not in my DNA; that’s
not who I am.â€
