Ortom Debunks Rumour Of Defecting To APC, Blasts Philip Agbese by Nemere2020(op): 4:21pm On Mar 20, 2022

Benue State Governor Samuel Ortom has dismissed claims by one Philip Agbese that he would return to the All Progressives Congress (APC) soon, insisting that, “I have never met that young man in my life.”

One Philip Agbese had claimed in a newspaper report that Governor Ortom confided in him to plead with the wife of an APC leader in Makurdi that he (Ortom) be accepted back into the APC fold.

According to the Governor, “I have never met that young man who calls himself Philip Agbese, so there is no way I would have whispered to him on any issue. Not to talk of returning to the APC. And why should I return to the APC? What will I be doing in a party that has destroyed Benue, wrecked Nigeria to its knees. In any case, why should I confide or whisper to someone I have never met?”

He went on: “If that young man wants to use my name to climb to wherever he wants to go, then he has failed. I am an enigma. I cannot condescend to the level of engaging with people who are going about looking for crumbs just to fill their stomach against the general well being of the people.”

Governor emphasised; “That young man is a serial liar who wants to draw attention to himself using my name. There is no truth in that claim. Whoever thinks that I, Governor Samuel Ortom will dump the Peoples Democratic Party now that I am part of the leadership of the party mapping up plans to rescue Nigeria from the APC led by General Muhammadu Buhari administration must be joking.”

“Let me make it clear. I am not contemplating rejoining the APC at any time. I am in the forefront, working with other leaders of the PDP to ensure that the party rescues Nigeria from the cluelessness of the APC to win the presidency and other states as well as retains power here in the state”.

I'm tired of Nigeria. Price of things are extremely cost.
Education is on hold.
Nothing is working in this country.
I don't mind being a second wife to someone who would send me outside this country.
It's frustrating.

Re: Ortom Debunks Rumour Of Defecting To APC, Blasts Philip Agbese by benuejosh:
Phillip my guy.entleman with money. He wanted Philip to plead with the Wife of Elder Simon Shango. The Chairman APC Elders Council. Elder Shango is the former National Publicity Secretary of the then NPN during the time of Shehu Shagari's government and currently doubles as Chairman H.E Senator George Akume campaign council. He more like the father of APC in Benue. Because of his wealth of experience in politics even before Shehu Shagari became president. We know this story Ortom. Ortom should remember that it was Elder Shango who asked that he should be giving the ticket on the platform of APC when the then governor Suswam did him dirty in PDP. Without contesting primaries Ortom was concensusly given the ticket and he won the election on the platform of APC and later ran away with the mandate to the failed party of PDP. Ortom was asked to give account of bailout funds, what he used the money for instead of paying salaries. That was how he said they chased him from APC.

It is no news to us, because few weeks back, Ortom's father inlaw (the father of the current first Lady of the state) decamped to APC from PDP accusing Ortom of turning the state to a Private Limited Company. Making money from Benue people with their blood in the name of Herdsmen.

Ortom has no support in Benue as such he has been trying to come back to APC. The news is all over in the state. He has nothing to campaign for PDP next year. He won't won't be welcomed.
