The Benue State House of Assembly has approved the nomination of Terver Akase, former Chief Press Secretary to Governor Samuel Ortom, as special adviser.
Akase had in September last year, resigned his appointment as the Chief Press Secretary to Ortom to pursue his governorship ambition.
However, the zoning arrangements did not favour him. The party leaders and stakeholders from Tiv extraction had zoned the governorship to Jechira where he (Akase) hails from but the micro zoning knocked him out.
Ortom had last week declared that he would reabsorb all his appointees not favoured with the party zoning arrangements.
