Benue PDP Patriots (BPP} led by former Speaker of the Federal House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Terngu Tsegba today 18th August, 2024 vowed not to allow former governor Samuel Ortom and Senator Abba Morro, to destroy the party for the interest of President Ahmed Tinubu and the group of five governors.
Addressing a World Press Conference at the Conference Hall of Hally Days Hotel Makurdi, High Chief Tsegba said the mess at the ward congresses orchestrated by the Ortom men who sat in private homes and manufactured results could not be accepted and allowed to stand.
High Chief Tsegba who was speaking the minds of aggrieved members of the party said the National Secretariat of the party must cancel the shame exercise and ensure that what was done at the various wards, approved by the local populace is accepted and adopted before moving forward to the local government congresses
The BPP equally requested National Working Committee of the party to immediately reschedule and conduct a transparent congresses at the ward and local government level even as as they acceded to the loyalty and principle of the PDP when provoked by elements sponsored to break the ranks for the party.
In their separate but collaborative speeches, Dr. Paul Ubwa, Dr. David Tsevende, Hon. Fanen Mondo, Aluashima Abari and Dr. Jack Mulya were categorically that Samuel Ortom who has been a major beneficiary of the party despite his countless shortcomings should not be permitted to destroy the PDP stressing that the bad elements and moles together with the Appeal Panel that failed to look into the grievances of the ward congress mess headed by the Bode Ojo should also be reprimanded.
The BPP members were in unison that any list emanating from Senator Abba Moro and Samuel Ortom’s dens will be rejected and aggressively turn down unless the peoples’ will is respected at various levels.
