I want to give an information on a pressing issue that is spreading like a wide fire in Benue State. The issue is the issue of the Benue State Governor, Mr. Ortom who has turned PDP in Benue State into a party where aspirants bribe their way to become a consensus candidate. Consensus is not to be forced on aspirants but it is applied only when the aspirants agreed among themselves to it. If there is no agreement to it, then it is advisable for all to go for primary election to test their strength in the poll. The lastest he did was in Gboko and Otukpo/Ohimini Federal House of Representatives seat where in the Otukpo/Ohimini case, he robbed a vibrant aspirant by the name, Hon.Joseph Oche Godwin vying for Otukpo/Ohimini Federal House of Representatives his voting right by making Hon.Alex, a brother of a real estate developer in Abuja by name Mohammed Ochacho a consensus candidate because it was known that the said Mohammed Ochacho bribed both the Governor and the state PDP party chairman a duplex each in one of his estates in the high brow of Abuja and an undisclosed huge amount of money. The said aspirant by the name, Hon. Joseph Oche Godwin has been working tiredlessly to see into the growth of PDP in the constituency which collapsed completely after during the last dispensation, thesame ill fate was meted on Hon Blessing Onuh, the present Member, House of Representative, Otukpo/Ohimini Constituency where she was robbed of her right and out of anger left the PDP to APGA where she was and won the seat of the Federal House of Representatives, Otukpo/Ohimini federal constituency. After her departure from PDP, many faithful left with her which resulted to the collapse of PDP in the constituency. Hon.Joseph Oche Godwin saw that PDP has crashed and the only way to revive it is to reach out to the masses and with that, he started his foundation, G12 foundation where he engaged tiredlessly in philanthropic works reaching out to various communities through charity works and Rural Electrification where he was giving out transformers to communities which the present state PDP chairman, Hon.John Ngbede , Hon.Mike Audu, Benue State House of Assembly representing the Constituency and Senator Dino Melaye were among dignitaries that commissioned the projects in various communities. He also carried out scholarships among students of higher education in various schools and many other projects which he did. With his efforts, he was able to win the heart of many people back to PDP. With that, his people talked to him into representing them in the Federal House of Representatives. He obeyed the voice of his people and brought the form for the seat. Other Aspirant brought forms too and the said Hon. Alex decamped from APC to PDP late last year after a tussle with Hon. Blessing Onuh who kicked them out of the party due to their skimming activities which wasn't possible to do in APC. These made them to come to PDP where they used their cunning ways to lure the Governor and party Chairman of the state into making Hon.Alex a consensus candidate forcefully even as Hon. Joseph Oche Godwin is refusing that they should go for primary election.
We solicit that let the Governor be readdressed by PDP National Chairman, Hon. Iorchia Ayu and other senior cacus members of the party before collapsing the party in the state again so that he will remove his hands from the election and allow for a free and fair election to be done in each of the various Constituency.
Below are pictures of some works done by Hon.Joseph Oche Godwin.

Say NO to consensus let us all vote our choice into the various seats.
It is well....The Lord is our strength.

Consensus is undemocratic, it stands condemned
