The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Benue State has suspended former Governor Samuel Ortom due to alleged anti-party activities.

Ortom, a close ally of FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, has been accused of leading and abetting the snatching of election materials during the recent Ward Congresses.

According to a statement signed by the Secretary of the party in Benue State, Ortom’s actions resulted in the non-conduct of congresses in several local government areas, including Buruku, Gboko, Ushongo, Guma, Tarka, Kwande, and Ohimini.

It can be recalled that Ortom openly supported Peter Obi, the Labour Party candidate in the 2023 election.
