Ortom Urges PDP to Focus on Peaceful Campaigns for 2027
Chief Samuel Ortom, a former Governor of Benue State and leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state, called on party members to avoid violence and concentrate on issue-based campaigns in preparation for the 2027 general election. He made this statement during an interaction with PDP members at Tse-Aondona in Gwer West Local Government Area, where his wife, Dr. Mrs. Eunice Ortom, received traditional blessings as the PDP candidate for the Benue North-West Senatorial District.
Ortom assured party members of the PDP leadership's commitment to protecting their votes and emphasized the importance of unity and peace during the electoral process. In a related matter, the Ogun State Chapter of the PDP dismissed reports questioning the eligibility of its candidate for the 2027 governorship election, Hon. Oladipupo Adebutu.
The party's Publicity Secretary, Mr. Kayode Adebayo, stated that the allegations were baseless and a smear campaign orchestrated by the All Progressives Congress (APC).
