Benue Youths Dare The Governor To Attend APC Meeting

The Governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom, was on Wednesday blocked by some youths in the state preventing him from travelling to attend the APC reconciliation meeting in Abuja.

Ortom is scheduled to meet with Adams Oshiomhole, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, and some other party members.

The request of the youths who blocked the government house is for the Governor to resign his membership from the APC.

Dave Ogbole, the leader of the protesting youths, dared the governor to crush them so as to embark on his trip to Abuja.

Mr. Ogbole said, “If the governor insists on travelling to Abuja for the APC meeting, he will risk losing the support of the people“.

Despite the governors’ plea to allow him attend the meeting as agreed by party members in the state, the youths stood their grounds until the governor’s convoy made a U-turn.

The youths have however continued to stay guard to ensure the governor does not travel.

Naija News reports that Ortom has thereafter, dumped the All Progressives Congress for the Peoples Democratic Party.
