The Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom has boasted that the All Progressives Congress, APC will suffer total defeat in next year’s presidential election.
Ortom, who had defected from the APC to PDP stated this on Monday in Makurdi when a former governorship aspirant on the platform of the PDP, Mr Dave Iorhemba visited him.
According to Ortom: “PDP will not only win in Benue but will win majority of the elective positions during the 2019 general elections. The party will also win the presidential election.
“We will support both the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the Federal Government in order to have credible elections.
“We will also guard against electoral manipulations. Nobody will be allowed to rig election in Benue. We will vote and guard our votes.”
He thanked Iorhemba for voluntarily stepping down for him, promising to integrate his campaign team into the state PDP main campaign organisation for the overall victory of the party.
Earlier, Iorhemba, said they would work to ensure that PDP win at the ward, district and LGA levels, stating that they had been doing it over time.
