I will never assume the duty of PDP leader in Benue – Abba Moro

The Senator representing Benue South Senatorial district, Comrade Abba Patrick Moro who is seeking re-election as the PDP Senatorial candidate while reeling out his achievements also dismissed media reports on the crises in the PDP at the national level credited to him.

“I believe that the Governor as the leader of the party, has the capacity to resolve issues within the party in Benue State and even as a leader in the G-5, he has the capacity together with his colleagues to ensure that the right thing is done and all parties to the crisis in PDP do the needful to make sure that we go into 2023 as united forces of PDP to win the election.

According to Senator Moro, “I will never assume the duty of the leader of the party in Benue state and I have restrained myself from commenting on the crisis in the PDP, believing that our leaders know the right thing to do at the appropriate time,” he stated.

He said he never made any comments, either directly or indirectly during the inauguration of his campaign council as credited to him.

In his words, “I want to say here that, whatever is happening at the national level is left for those people who are playing national politics to resolve the matter. And if they don’t resolve it, I will call you and I will inform you and ask you what direction we will go.”

Senator Moro disclosed that he had sponsored 13 bills in the Senate, some of which include, a bill canvassing for the establishment of the North Central Development Commission, Rotation of Power among political blocs and Local Government Autonomy among others.

Senator representing Benue North-East, Dr. Gabriel Suswam in his goodwill message said, he had come to give solidarity to Senator Moro whom he described as a “Prominent son of Zone C, a grassroots politician and a voice that cannot be ignored in the Senate and politics of Nigeria.”
Deputy Governorship candidate of PDP in the State, Sir John Ngbede in a brief remark on behalf of the PDP Governorship candidate, Engr Titus Uba noted that the PDP was sending a balanced team to the National Assembly and tasked the people to collect their Permanent Voters Card, PVs and vote en masse for PDP candidates in the polls.

The Acting State Chairman of PDP, Hon Isaac Mffo who presented the party’s flags to candidates of the party in the zone affirmed that the “PDP is an inclusive political platform” and charged the candidates to carry everyone along in their campaigns.

Earlier, Director of Benue South Senatorial campaigns, Dr. Adakole Friday Elijah stated that with the track record of performance of Senator Moro in the areas of health, infrastructure and education the people of the zone were ready to re-elect him and vote for all PDP candidates.
