The Benue state government has clarified that Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue state has no problem with the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, National Chairman, Senator Ayu, contrary to the recent allegation by a group, the Tiv Youth Council, TYC.
The President of TYC, Mike Msuaan in a statement claimed that Governor Ortom had kept mute over the demand by his friend, Governor Nyesom Wike for the resignation of Senator Ayu saying “it is our belief that Governor Ortom is fully aware of the clandestine moves to remove Ayu as the National Chairman of the PDP.”
But in a swift reaction, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Media and Publicity, Terver Akase, in a statement, Tuesday in Makurdi, pointed out that “there is no socio-cultural organization in Benue State known as Tiv Youth Council.” According to him, “these are misguided All Progressives Congress, APC, youths who have been assigned the role of attack dogs. Part of their job is fueling disharmony within the PDP.
