He, however, had a transit stopover at Benue and Ortom went to the Air Force Base to receive him but was not granted access by the security team on ground.

This made the Benue Governor furious and sad as he angrily declared that someone must pay for it. He declared the action of the security operatives as politics taken too far.

Addressing journalists at the Government House in Makurdi, Ortom said: “How can I go to the Air Force base and I am bounced back? In my State? It’s politics taken too far and somebody was account for it.

“I feel so sad that there are certain things you don’t play politics with it and I must continue to talk about this injustice.”

Ortom revealed further that he had received a letter earlier from the presidency notifying him about Osinbajo’s movement and that was what made him delegate his Deputy to represent him at the burial of Professor Ignatius Ayua while he welcomes the Vice President.
