Who says PDP is dead?
We are very much alive and we will come back stronger in 2023.

Great

See that Agatu supplementary result

So APC is now a regional party

PDP power

Hi

U want?

Congrats to the people's governor .

Good. Those that casted their votes for APC in Benue state needs to be stoned to death because they are inhuman. God bless Nigeria

Hmm
Not a surprise...
Benue people aren't foolish enough to vote and reinforce a party that condones senseless shedding of blood!!!

Please na people dey vote apc for benue state or na fulani people cows

This man would not have won if not for the wicked and senseless killings going on in that state

Nice one as Benue people have spoken...

PDP Power!!!
Like for PDP.... Share for APC

Rigged election.....

Wow! It calls for celebration.

D gods must b angry in agatu.144-0

Great. One completely off the satanic party coven.

God bless the benue people if herdsmen are upset they can kill themselves but as for Benue I stand by their decision and I praise God on their behalf.

Apc media demons won't like this but their is nothing they can do about it.

Hope Ortom has learned his lesson in a bitter way. Next time Ortom will know better that jumping around political party might be a great mistake. He was deceived by apc vampire and after falling their prey they unleashed horror on him and his people and even intimidated him not to talk.

Apc is a scam. Apc is useless. Apc is satanic. Apc is demonic. I spit!!!

I'm delighted that this man, despite cross- carpeting

SHAME ON APC & Buari

Congrats 'Ortom-atically'! PDP for life!

I'm delighted that this man won, despite cross- carpeting

The 7k+ people that voted APC in Agatu sha
