Ortom speaks on his future in APC


Benue State governor, Samuel Ortom has said he would soon make a final decision on his future in the All Progressives Congress, APC.

According to the governor, the suspense would soon be over as he would make his intention known in no distant time.

Ortom had on Monday alleged that the ruling APC had issued him a red card, stressing that he was no longer a member of the party.

However, after a meeting with the APC chairman, Adams Oshiomhole on Thursday, the governor swallowed his word and rescinded that he was still flying the party’s flag.

Speaking with newsmen at the Benue Peoples House, Makurdi, on his return from Abuja, the Governor said he plans to consult stakeholders in the state before making public the next move regarding his membership of the ruling party, stressing that he would obey the wishes of Benue people on the matter.

Ortom said comments and write-ups in the media alleging that he had made a u-turn were unfounded, saying that his earlier statement regarding a red card remained the same.

On what he discussed at the meeting with the Peoples Democratic Party leaders in Kwara State earlier this week, Governor Ortom said he travelled to Ilorin for burial.

He thanked his numerous supporters within and outside Benue State for the goodwill they had shown him, giving assurance that he would not let them down.
