Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, has mocked Senator George Akume after he failed to get re-elected into the Nigerian Senate, saying he has fulfilled his promise to send his former boss into retirement.
Mr. Akume, the All Progressives Congress (APC) senatorial candidate for Benue North-West and ally of President Muhammadu Buhari, was defeated by his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) challenger, Orker Jev.
Ortom said this during a press conference at the Government House, Makurdi on Tuesday, boasting that everything he said politically concerning Akume had come to pass.
The governor said, “Tell me one thing I told you before that has never come to pass. Anything l tell you must come to pass because I don’t just say it. I speak from the inspiration of God.
“I told you that I would send Akume into retirement. You can now see it happening.
“People who play God should know that their end will be disastrous. I have read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation and I know that anyone that compares himself to God can never survive.
“God is real. Psalm 24 said the earth and its fullness thereof belong to God.
“So, when people begin to play God, they are taking the position of God. Their end will be disastrous because you cannot share the glory of God.”
