Rampaging APC youths destroy Ortom, PDP billboards in Benue vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
The said youths, who moved in a motorcade, created tension and fear in the town while people scampered for safety for fear of being caught in a reprisal by PDP youths. It however took the intervention of the Police to avert a crisis in the town.
In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Terver Akase, the governor said: “We must all remain calm despite the provocation by some youths of APC who went on rampage today destroying billboards and posters belonging to PDP within the State capital.“Senator George Akume who propelled the youths to embark on the destruction of PDP campaign materials is only lamenting his defeat at last Saturday’s election by inciting youths to cause mayhem in Makurdi and other towns in the State.
“For him to lose the last election and choose to embark on destruction of campaign billboards and posters of his opponents thereby causing traffic problems in town, is quite unfortunate and regrettable. Ornguga said: “What happened was that this morning Senator Akume drove around town in a motorcade to celebrate the victory of President Muhammadu Buhari; he did not even invite his party supporters to join him.
