Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State has acknowledged the contribution of the Church to his life, stating, “if not for the prayers of the Church I would have been consumed. The prayers of the Church kept me.”

He disclosed this Friday, April 8th, 2022 at the Benue Peoples House, Makurdi when he received in audience, members of the Knight of St. Mulumber, Abuja Ecclesiastical Council led by the Metro Grand Knight, Sir Michael Awuhe.

According to him, “God has given me uncommon courage. One with God is Majority. I have always stood for equity, fairness and justice. I am happy that I am executing the counsel of God over Benue State.”

He stated that the Catholic Church has always stood out in their counsel to him which had been of immense benefits to him, pointing out that “their counsel have made me better”, he stated.

The Governor who appreciated the Catholic Church for keeping faith with the work of God, described them as one of most organised Christian denominations.

He noted that “the Clergies of the Church have remained committed to both the physical and spiritual needs of the people. The Catholic Church as the mother of all churches have preserved their doctrines”

Governor Ortom then charged Christians in the country to rise up to their responsibilities, stating that “Nigeria is in a war situation as we speak. “Those Christians who are sitting on the fence saying that politics is dirty are wrong. They should step forward and take their positions and show interest to bring the country back on track. Now it is time for the validation of voters cards, let us mobilise our people to register so they can vote in the elections.”

He encouraged Christians to ” to unite as a church and be prepared because terrorists have surrounded the country.”

Earlier in a remark, Sir Michael who intimated the governor about the activities of the body, commended him for standing for the oppressed and the downtrodden in the society.

He encouraged the Governor to continue to do good despite challenges as the people will appreciate him more when he must have completed his tenure and left.

He explained that the Knight of St. Mulumber KSM), which was instituted on June 15, 1953  by Catholic Bishops Conference, take care of the poor, defend the church and the clergy. “We do so many things to uplift the plight of the downtrodden in the society.”
