The immediate past governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom, has refuted reports of his defection to the All Progressives Congress, APC.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the expanded executive meeting of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, on Monday, Ortom said he\u2019s still a member of the party.<\/p>\n

According to Ortom: \u201cThe rumours that I\u2019m decamping to APC, I\u2019m not going anywhere; this one that they are calling me the leader of the party in the state which comes with lots of responsibilities, I will not leave it for anybody.<\/p>\n

\u201cAPC has not invited me to join it. I am not a busybody who will be moving from one place to another, I am committed to my party (PDP). We must respect the party at all times. Let us strategise to return to power. Now is the time to plan, we must plan ahead of them as they did in 2023.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ortom also dismissed claims of having friction with former governor Gabriel Suswam and Senator Abba Moro.<\/p>\n

\u201cPDP is the only party that is strong and receptive to the yearnings of the people. With our new commitment, we will make the party more vibrant for tomorrow.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe shall succeed in future elections. I do not have any friction with Moro and Suswam,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
