A pro-Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on the platform of The Democrats Group (TDG), has called for the resignation of Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue state as Chairman of PDP Zoning Committee.

The committee is charged with responsibility of providing the party’s direction on the contentious issue of zoning.

The group made the call Monday in Abuja, through a statement signed by its Director-General, Asiwaju Abidemmy Elegbede.

The group while justifying the demand for Ortom’s resignation alluded to what it termed the “Benue governor’s incestuous political relationship with Governor Nyesom Wike.

According to the group, Ortom is a beneficiary of Wike’s N5 billion grant, among other beneficiary state governors.
Moreover the group noted that it was no coincidence that Governor Wike gave Benue state another N500 million and proceeded to declare his intent to run for president in the state.

The group also raised issues of the declaration of by the Benue governor for governor Wike’s presidency as aberration and tantamount to undue favouritism.

While calling on the party to provide equal opportunity to all aspirants, the group in the release said, “the Benue governor having openly expressed his position on zoning by clamouring for a Southern president, should recuse himself as the Chairman of the 37-man PDP Zoning Committee or the party leadership relieve him of his position as chairman and hip of the zoning committee.”

SPACE FOR SALE.

They have a point

@ paininthea....

Wike this wike that

Thieves

my mind is with the PDP o but if Yemi Osibanjo contests, my vote is for him.

The fear of WIKE

We in PDP prefer Atiku to face Tinubu in 2023. PDP needs a candidate that would make them win and not just contesting for contesting sake.

Wike should save his small money he made from 8 years Rivers State Allocation for his retirement

Atiku just sold his shares at INTELs logistics for a whopping $100,000,000 million USD or ₦42, 500,000,000 billion Naira

Only people like Aliko Dangote, Bola Ahmed Tinubu has such financial liquidity and muscle

Interesting... We are watching and waiting.

Dia cup of tea

Wike should avoid Ortom like a plague.
Wike is using Ortom to score cheap political points.

@ paininthea....

D thing pain me

Tor

Wike's declaration in Benue has compromised Otorms position as chairman of zoning committee.

We all wish for a Southern candidate but it should be on a fair note.

Haba baba wicked.

If that should be the case every politicians in Nigeria should resign.

Ortom will zone the party’s presidential ticket to the South and there is nothing Atiku and his pained wailers can do about it.

He will soon blame buhari for this
