2023: Ortom warns against campaign of calumny

Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State on Monday warned members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Campaign Council against embarking on a campaign of calumny.

Ortom said that as the chairman of the campaign council, the warning that he handed at a meeting of the State Campaign Council members in Makurdi became necessary to ensure that the right things were done during electioneering.

The governor enjoined the party faithful to embark on a campaign of issues as he stressed that the PDP will coast home to victory in the 2023 general election in the state.

He, however, frowned at the manner that the opposition party was defacing the Wurukum roundabout in Makurdi which has been leased to MultiChoice while they allegedly pull down billboards and posters of the PDP.

The governor warned that such an act was undemocratic and that those embarking on it should desist from doing so in their own interest.

Meanwhile, Ortom announced the distribution of 23 buses to the 23 local government campaign council coordinators.
