Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, has said that the Peoples Democratic Party has served his Rivers State counterpart, Nyesom Wike, injustice.
This, he said, must be resolved to bring peace into the party and guarantee it victory in 2023.
Speaking during the party stakeholders meeting held at the new banquet hall of the Government House, Makurdi, on Monday, Ortom said it was unwise to leave the matters unresolved as campaigns drew near.
He said, “If you dismiss us that you don’t need us, I believe that will be dangerous. I want the party to address the injustices so that as we move into the election, we will work together and we will have no crisis.”
He added, “There is an 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 shove people around as though they are not relevant. Everyone is relevant and one vote can make you fail in an election.
“So, the leadership at the national level should do more; politics is about interest and what is the interest of our state and our people? What do I tell my people in Benue?
“The leadership of the party was not able to deploy its internal conflict resolution management skills in solving the problems that arose and then, it has continued. To me, it is better for us to work together and deliver this party.’’
