He stated that he remains committed to protecting the interest of Benue people as his core mandate, pointing out that he will continue to resist invasion of the Benue land in whatever form.

The Governor assured the decampees of equal opportunities in the PDP, stressing that the party has no newcomers and will treat everyone as old members.

Leaders of the defectors including two terms House of Assembly Member, Rt Hon Shimawua Azaigba, Hon Ugba Alough, uncle to House of Representatives Member representing Jechira, Hon Tyokula Yainjoh and Engr Baba Agan among others said they decided to join the PDP to join forces with the Governor and other leaders to liberate Benue.
