The return of Ortom shows courage, boldness – PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had commend governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State for the courage and boldness he shown by coming back.

The party said in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan that the return of the governor to PDP attest that President Muhammadu Buhari’s led-administration and the All Progressives Congress (APC) do not have the welfare of Nigerians at heart.

It accused the Federal Government of continually offering flimsy excuses over the mindless killings that have caused untold sorrows across the country, particularly, Benue State.

“PDP recalls that the Buhari-led Federal Government has failed in its basic responsibility of protecting live, property, territorial integrity of our nation,” the statement added.

The party also recall how the APC-led Buhari administration, would rather plead for the accommodation of persons whom have been repeatedly fingered as being responsible for heinous killings in the Benue valley rather than take decisive and concrete actions to preserve lives of
Nigerians.

“The PDP however hails the governor for standing firm by the people of Benue State and refusing to mortgage their welfare to a government that
has consistently demonstrated cluelessness.

“We urge the governor to be rest assured that he will be accorded his dues and rights as a member of the PDP.

“The return of the Governor Ortom to our party, which is a reflection of his people’s desires, further confirms the rejection of the Buhari -led APC administration by Nigerians.
