The incumbent Governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom on Wednesday defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from the All Progressives Congress (APC), ending on weeklong rumour about his eventual departure from his former party, about 24hrs after 15 senators and 32 members of the House of Representatives earlier defected to the PDP.
While many faulted Ortom’s decision, others especially in the PDP circle have received the news with open arms.
Popular among PDP faithful who have welcomed Ortom’s defection is embattled outgoing of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose who had taken to his twitter handle @GovAyoFayose to congratulate Ortom for joining the PDP.
Fayose who said that he is looking forward to see more defectors leave APC to PDP expressed hope that they (PDP) would reclaim power from the hands of people he described as (tyrants).
The twitter post read “I welcome my brother, Governor Samuel Ortom to the @OfficialPDPNig. I expect other forward looking and progressive governors to leave the APC sinking ship too. Together we must rescue Nigeria from these tyrants presently occupying Aso Presidential Villa. God bless Nigeria.”
