Akase said that the former Governor had no reservations over steps taken by his successor,  Gov Hyacenth Alia, to  probe  his eight-year rule.

“Ortom is willing to cooperate with the probe panels as long as the investigation is carried out in line with the law, because his administration was built on transparency, accountability and good governance.

“Ortom is ready to provide any information or clarification, as may be required.

“He has urged all those who held political appointments his his administration to make themselves available whenever called upon to provide clarifications,” he said of the probe inaugurated by the new Benue government.
