Benue: Ortom speaks on ‘plans’ to return to APC

Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, has for the umpteenth time declare that has no plan to defect from Peoples Democratic Party, PDP to All Progressives Congress, APC or any other political party.

The governor said the clarification has become necessary following the recent statement credited to the Benue State Chairman of APC, Comrade Abba Yaro, in which he insinuated that the Governor will soon be returning to the party.

Terve Akase, the governor’s spokesman in a statement said it is pertinent to state categorically that Governor Ortom is not contemplating leaving PDP for whatever reason.

His statement below:

The Governor believes that the political, economic and security challenges currently facing the country cannot merely be solved by people decamping from one political party to another. He says what is most important at this point is for Nigerians of all walks of life to join hands and surmount the challenges confronting the nation.

Governor Ortom is comfortably leading the PDP in Benue State to achieve development milestones for the people and he remains focused on the mandate of providing good governance to all parts of the state.
