Governor Samuel Ortom has assured the people of Benue South
senatorial district that the continuity of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP
administration in the state will further work for the improved conditions of
the state.
The Governor spoke Monday, December 5th, 2022 at the
flag-off of the PDP Senatorial campaigns in Benue South just as Senator Abba
Moro dismissed comments credited to him on the PDP crises at the national
level.
The campaign, which was held at the Pavilion Square in Oju
Local Government Area attracted thousands of party supporters from the nine
local government areas of the zone.
Governor Ortom commended the people of Benue South for their
commitment to the party and promised that those elected on the platform of the
party will continue to do their best to bring development to the state.
“You have done us well, you have given us support and the
only thing, we can pay back to you is to ensure that we work to ensure that
Benue State is better and that is what we are doing.”
The Governor expressed satisfaction with the patriotism and
commitment to the PDP by Benue South and reiterated that the party was one
indivisible platform in the state that was committed to winning all its
elections.
In his words, “Let me tell you, PDP is a serious business in
Benue State. By the grace of God, we are going to win all our elections. We are
one indivisible body that is committed to the winning of our party, the PDP,
because APC has failed this nation,” Governor Ortom told the teeming
supporters.
He reaffirmed that despite the challenges and paucity of
funds, his administration remained committed to meeting its obligations to the
people.
The Governor who decried that the state has been
marginalized despite his administration’s commitment to development enjoined
the people to vote for PDP candidates whom he noted were committed to the
collective good of the state.
In his speech, the Senator representing Benue South
Senatorial district, Comrade Abba Moro who is seeking re-election as the PDP
Senatorial candidate while reeling out his achievements also dismissed media
reports on the crises in the PDP at the national level credited to him.
“I believe that the Governor as the leader of the party, has
the capacity to resolve issues within the party in Benue State and even as a
leader in the G-5, he has the capacity together with his colleagues to ensure
that the right thing is done and all parties to the crisis in PDP do the
needful to make sure that we go into 2023 as united forces of PDP to win the
election.
According to Senator Moro, “I will never assume the duty of
the leader of the party in Benue state and I have restrained myself from
commenting on the crisis in the PDP, believing that our leaders know the right
thing to do at the appropriate time,” he stated.
He said he never made any comments, either directly or
indirectly during the inauguration of his campaign council as credited to him.
In his words, “I want to say here that, whatever is
happening at the national level is left for those people who are playing
national politics to resolve the matter. And if they don’t resolve it, I will
call you and I will inform you and ask you what direction we will go.”
Senator Moro disclosed that he had sponsored 13 bills in the
Senate, some of which include, a bill canvassing for the establishment of the
North Central Development Commission, Rotation of Power among political blocs
and Local Government Autonomy among others.
Senator representing Benue North-East, Dr. Gabriel Suswam in
his goodwill message said, he had come to give solidarity to Senator Moro whom
he described as a “Prominent son of Zone C, a grassroots politician and a voice
that cannot be ignored in the Senate and politics of Nigeria.”
Deputy Governorship candidate of PDP in the State, Sir John
Ngbede in a brief remark on behalf of the PDP Governorship candidate, Engr
Titus Uba noted that the PDP was sending a balanced team to the National
Assembly and tasked the people to collect their Permanent Voters Card, PVs and
vote en masse for PDP candidates in the polls.
The Acting State Chairman of PDP, Hon Isaac Mffo who
presented the party’s flags to candidates of the party in the zone affirmed
that the “PDP is an inclusive political platform” and charged the candidates to
carry everyone along in their campaigns.
Earlier, Director of Benue South Senatorial campaigns, Dr.
Elijah Adakole stated that with the track record of performance of Senator Moro
in the areas of health, infrastructure and education the people of the zone
were ready to re-elect him and vote for all PDP candidates.
The Chairman of the occasion, Elder Christopher Abah and
Chairlady, Mrs. Ene Edache in their separate remarks pledged their readiness to
mobilize support for all PDP candidates.
