Benue State Governor, Samuel
Ortom has refuted claims in some quarters that he plans to dump the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, for the All Progressives Congress, APC.
The Governor gave the
clarification in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Terver Akase.
According to him, it became
necessary owing to a 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.
“It is pertinent to state
categorically that Governor Ortom is not contemplating leaving PDP for whatever
reason.
“Ortom 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,” he said.
The Governor, therefore,
reiterated that he 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.
