Ortom Speaks On PDP Crisis, Reveals When It Will End

Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State has expressed optimism that the crisis rocking the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will be over soon.

Naija News reports that the governor stated this while speaking to Benue State PDP stakeholders at a meeting at Government House, Makurdi.

While stating that there is a crisis bedevilling the main opposition party, the governor said party leaders are working to resolve the issues ahead of the 2023 elections.

Ortom stated that  the party was united at the state level, and was committed to ensuring it won the 2023 election.

According to the member of G-5 of the PDP, the stakeholders meeting was to ensure that the party strategises preparatory to the elections.

He revealed that the PDP governorship candidate and Speaker of the State Assembly, Titus Uba, who has been ill for some time, was recuperating in a hospital outside the country.

Assuring that the candidate would surely be home in the first week of January for campaigns, Ortom said: “The speaker who is our governorship candidate is well and in high spirit. He had wanted to come back home before Christmas but I advised him to stay behind and rest well before returning to the country because we are holding forth for him.

“And by the first week of January 2023 we will all move to the Makurdi toll gate to welcome him back home to Benue State.”
