While speaking with newsmen at the Government House, Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, has said that PDP would examine their strategy and figure out what made them lose to the APC in 2015.
He also said that he is not happy being the only PDP governor in the North Central region and he says that there are plans for that to change come 2023. He also spoke about defections saying that prominent politicians who defected to the opposition were those who most likely did not win elections in their localities.
“I am not completely happy, being the only PDP governor in the North Central. I want more states in the zone. I want PDP to control the Federal Government and if we are in control, we will have appointments, as head of agencies, representations and more projects will come to Benue State.
“Check the records of those who defected. Check whether they won one vote in their areas. Tell me a notable PDP member that has defected to another party. It is just mischief. But very soon, you will see what I will do. We are on top of the situation. There is no cause for alarm,” he said.
About the Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore’s vow to forcefully introduce their vigilance group in the state, Ortom had strong sentiments. He vowed to jail them if they attempted to infiltrate the state.
