Atiku Abubakar’s presidential campaign rally was attended by Titus Uba, a candidate for governor in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), according to Samuel Ortom, the governor of Benue State.
There is a rift in Ortom’s camp, as evidenced by Uba’s participation in the PDP’s presidential campaign.
In response, Terver Akase, Ortom’s special adviser on media and publicity, claimed that Uba is the PDP’s candidate for governor and not Ortom’s.
He added that Ortom is not waging a personal war and that he has no desire to demolish the PDP in Benue State.
Akase said;
Uba is a PDP candidate and cannot afford to miss the presidential rally when the national chairman and BoT members are there.
Uba is not Ortom’s candidate, he is the PDP candidate, and for Ortom to even allow some of his loyalists to attend Atiku’s presidential campaign rally goes to show that Ortom is not fighting a personal battle, and it also means that he is not out to destroy PDP in the State.
So, what is happening is not all about Ortom, the struggle in PDP is for justice, the G-5 Governors and Ortom are not fighting for personal war.
