“People who have stolen chicken are languishing in jail while those who stole billions are walking about free.”
Ortom charged youths to judiciously make use of their time for meaningful purposes.
“Nobody will pay you for insulting people on face book but you can take advantage which social media has provided and create wealth instead of insults,” he said.
Also speaking on God’s plan for him at old age, he said that if God permit, he would want to live for 90 years only.
Daily Times recalls that the governor had urged the federal government to allow responsible citizens own AK 47 just like those who carry them illegally to kill innocent people.
“Why give me a license for double barrel and den gun when those coming to attack and kill use AK 47,” Ortom said.
