The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Benue State has said that the state governor, Samuel Ortom, is still a bonafide member of the PDP.
State chairman of the PDP, Dr Emmanuel Agbo stated this at a news conference held at the PDP Secretariat yesterday insisting that the governor did not decamp from the PDP before joining the APC after he failed to pick the PDP ticket during the primaries.
Agbo noted that as a man who rose from being a state executive member of the PDD to becoming a national auditor until his appointment as minister under the platform of the PDP, it was improper for Ortom to say that he decamped at the ward level only.
He maintained that a man of Ortom’s calibre who had benefitted so much from the PDP should have at least decamped at the state level stressing that as the chairman of the PDP in the state, he was yet to be notified about his decamping from the party.
The state PDP chairman posited that the fact that the APC waited for the PDP to conduct its primaries before picking one among the array of PDP aspirants showed that the APC did not have any credible person to fly its flag in the state.
