Rivers: 10 APC ward chairmen, leaders, 5,000 APC, SDP members join PDP

The mass defection of members of the All Progressive Congress (APC), and those of other political parties in Benue state continued on Saturday when hundreds of them in Ushongo Local Government Area (LGA) of the state again decamped to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

 

The defectors who abandoned their parties less than two weeks after a similar occurrence in Agatu and Kwande LGAs were received by Governor Samuel Ortom assisted by Senator Gabriel Suswam representing Benue North East senatorial district.

 

Receiving the defectors Governor Ortom posited that considering all the attacks and killings by armed herdsmen that the state had witnessed, without genuine efforts by the federal government to tackle the challenge and also intervene in IDPs situation in the state, any Benue political party member still in the APC should check him or herself.

 

Ortom has been one of the critics of the Muhammadu Buhari administration, especially as it concerns security.
