He reiterated that any attempt to ignore Governor Wike or anyone in his camp may spell doom for the PDP.
“If you dismiss us and say you do not need us, I believe that will be dangerous. I want the party to address the injustices so that as we move into the elections, we will work together and we will have no crisis," Ortom who is one of those in Wike's team said.
He added:
“There is injustice that has been meted to my friend Wike, because he stood for the party and supported it to the end.
“The leadership of the party should do the needful to resolve the problem and not to shove people around as though they are not relevant. Everyone is relevant and one vote can make one fail at the elections.
“The leadership at the national level should do more. Politics is interest and what is the interest if not our state and our people. What do I tell my people in Benue?”

Meanwhile, a member of the PDP campaign council and new media head, Anthony Ehilebo, has sent a powerful message to Governor Wike and his supporters over their agitation for the removal of Iyorchia Ayu as the party’s national chairman.
In an exclusive chat with Legit.ng, Ehilebo said that despite the legitimacy of the request for balance, the fact is that it goes against the party’s ethos.
According to him, the PDP is a national party with a national spread, not a regional party, and must follow its constitution in all its decisions and actions.
