Benue State governor Samuel Ortom has debunked online reports that he and his G-5 colleagues have resolved to support the presidential candidate of th
The governor who spoke through his adviser on media and publicity, Terver Akase said, “We read a fictitious online report which claimed that the governor, Ortom and his colleagues in the G-5 have resolved to work for the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party Alhaji Abubakar to win the 2023 election.
“Manufacturers of the said report were apparently on a desperate mission to score a cheap political point as the said report could not mention the place and date of the said meeting of G-5 Governors who have chosen the path of justice, fairness and equity.” According to him the writers only sought to take advantage of the crisis within the PDP for their selfish purposes because Governor Ortom and other members of the G-5 have not endorsed the said presidential candidate.
“When the governor met with the expanded state caucus of PDP yesterday January 9, 2023 at the Benue Peoples House, Makurdi, his message to them was crystal clear that the national leadership of PDP has failed to utilize its internal conflict resolution mechanism which has led to the crisis rocking the party. He maintained that if the crisis is not resolved before the elections, he would be left with no other option than to take a stand on the matter.
