Governor of Benue State, Samuel
Ortom on Friday said no amount of gang-up against him within the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, would make him leave the party for another political
party again.
There have been insinuations that
the governor may defect from the PDP to the Social Democratic Party, SDP.
Ever since his defection from the
All Progressives Congress, APC to the PDP, there have been some unresolved
disagreement between him and the leadership of his new party over who controls
the structure of the party in the state.
Speaking on behalf of the
governor on Friday, his Chief Press Secretary, Terver Akase, told reporters in
Makurdi that talks between Ortom and other governorship aspirants within the
PDP were still ongoing.
He said, “As l speak with you,
there is no such thought (of defecting) at all. The governor has joined the
PDP, he was in the PDP before he left and he has said that he has come back
home. So, there is no such thought at all.
“Ortom is a true member of the
PDP and is confident of flying the PDP flag in next year’s election.
“So, why should he think about
leaving the PDP? There is no reason and no cause for such thought as I speak
with you. l don’t have to comment about what any aspirant is saying because the
PDP I know is a big family that makes decisions to accommodate all its members.
“The party is still discussing
and decisions have yet to be reached, but l know that any decision taken would
not make Ortom to leave the PDP again.”
