Governor Samuel Ortom has celebrated Christmas with his former motor park colleagues.
Gatekeepers News reports that Governor Ortom has celebrated Christmas with his former boss and contemporaries in Gboko Motor Park, Mnenge Mtemave, and his colleague drivers.
Ortom celebrated his former colleagues in the spirit of the Yuletide on Monday, December 27, 2021, at the residence of Mtemave, Ipav, Mbadim, Gboko Local Government Area of the State.
Governor Ortom earlier worked as a motor conductor to Mtemave who was a driver at the Gboko Motor Park from the late seventies to the eighties.
Ortom who has never hidden his past life narrated how Mtemave invited him to work as a conductor and later taught him how to drive after he dropped out of primary school.
He explained how Mnenge later made him cashier and treasurer of all the monies they made weekly and gave him a blank cheque to spend at will, an opportunity he never took for granted but still went back to him to approve spending on his needs.
The Governor noted that God revealed to him to visit, celebrate and appreciate his former boss, Mnenge for laying the foundation for him to be who he is today.
While urging the people never to despise their little beginnings, encouraged them to remain committed in their service to God, adding that they should also seek formal education even at old age to brighten their fortunes.
Ortom presented a Hilux Van to Mtemave and pledged to support him in any merchandise of his choice, even as he showered his former colleagues and the communities with cows, pigs, bags of rice, and cash.
Messers Abugh Vaaswem and Aondopine Tim who spoke for the Ugbada family and former colleagues appreciated the Governor for his good gesture and prayed God to prosper him.
Ter Gboko, Gabriel Shosum, and Ter Guma, Dennis Shemberga, also expressed delight over the Governor’s gesture, even as the host, Mtemave thanked the Governor for honouring him.
