Ortom dumps APC, says, I’ve been given red card

The Governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom, at the banquet hall of the Government House in Makurdi on Monday announced that he is no longer a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Ortom stated this while swearing in the newly-appointed Special Adviser on Local Government and Chieftain Affairs, Jerome Torshimbe disclosed that the APC had given him the red card.

Speaking with DAILY POST on Monday, the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Terver Akase, quoted his principal as saying, “As for party, I’ve been given the red card and I’m now outside the pitch. So, if I have been given the red card and I’m standing outside, that means I’m a free man.”
