"Enough is Enough" Benue Governor Ortom Declares as he dumps APC

Benue State governor, Samuel Ortom, is looking for a new political party after leaving the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

While highlighting the problems that the state has faced with incessant killings in 2018, the governor said the APC kicked him out and made him a free man. He further noted that God will decide what his next move will be.

He said, "As for party, I have been given red card and I'm outside the pitch. So, if I have been given red card and I'm standing outside, I'm a free man.

"So I don't know what will happen next but I'm waiting. If others approach me, then I will tell the Benue people that I'm joining another football club. I'm a child of destiny and it's only God that will decide what I will be."

When contacted about the development on Monday, the governor's Chief Press Secretary, Terve Akase, said the APC sent the governor away from the party and he's officially looking for a new party to join.

He said, "He has not dumped the APC, it's the APC that has sent him away. That's official. The APC has sent him away, that's the true position.

"He is yet to make up his mind on which other platform to join. He has just told Benue people that he has just been sent away from the APC. In other words, he has been given a red card so he's looking for another club to join and very soon he'll make his decision known to the people."
