The State Working Committee (SWC) of the Benue State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has announced the suspension of immediate past Governor Samuel Ortom and three other members of the party for alleged anti-party activities.
In a statement yesterday in Makurdi by its Media Consultant, Colinus Hwande, the PDP said Ortom was suspended for choosing the Labour Party (LP) candidate in last year’s general election and asking the party to vote for All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 presidential election.

It added that the suspension followed the alleged involvement of the PDP chieftains in the snatching of congress materials meant for the conduct of last Saturday’s ward congresses in Buruku and Ushongo local government areas.
The statement said suspension took effect from Friday, August 2.
