A former Local Government chairman in Benue State was reportedly attacked by thugs after showing up at Governor Samuel Ortom’s senatorial campaign rally wearing Atiku Abubakar’s t-shirt.

The former Ushongu Local Government Area Chairman, Asawa Joe, lost consciousness and was rushed to the hospital after political thugs descended on him for wearing Atiku’s t-shirt.

A source at the scene of the incident stated that Asawa was attacked alongside other People’s Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidates’ supporters at the rally.

The source further stated that the attack was carried out on the orders of the governor, who has been in disagreement with the PDP national leadership.

Asawa took to his Facebook page to share photos of himself lying on the hospital bed while stating that he had just regained consciousness.

That's why I am telling you that Govs constitute majority of the problems we have today, when you attack them they point to Abuja.

Nobody is holding them accountable, the reason for their nonchalant attitudes. PDP governorship candidate and ortom are in a cold war as we speak

Urheadmaster:


The thugs beats is consciousness out of his body

Kyase:
Since 2018 bro.
Ortom is a desperado and have same habit as Obaseki

fergie001:
Everyday in the media we attack the President, whether Buhari or those before him. Try to do same thing to any of these Govs, they will invoke one Executive Order and deal with you.

If he likes, he should be in wet war with Uba... There are rumours he is even sick. I wish all Benuelites well..

Aiel123:
This battle will consume him...you don't just destroy your house in anger lest a stranger will take over your properties.

You have spoken well.
That's why I don't fancy calls for state policing.
Our governors are another Adolf Hitler claded with civilian robes.
Just imagine Umahi, Wike,Bello in control of every single police in their states.

Golan007:
He's been doing this for years.

Nothing new.

fergie001:
Na who no sabi dey shout State Policing.
You go see Mussolini real life.

Constitutional Amendments now, only 11 States have submitted... The bigger States rejected LG Autonomy, all others said until State Policing is added, they won't touch it. (The Govs mandated the Assemblys to leave the Bill, you just can imagine).
Everyone knows house of assemblies are puppets of state governments ... They're remote controlled.
Everytime we go dey shout Buhari. Buhari this... Buhari that but we'll never hold our governors accountable.
That LGA autonomy,states won't agree to it oo. LGA allocation dey shack them.
