“In consideration of the above and other existing facts of politics, I, Chief Bemgba Iortyom, take this step as a loyal and proud PDP man intent on galvanizing activity within the party’s ranks and igniting collective action among its leadership and followership as a unifying factor.

“I step forward as a herald carrying the message that PDP has its sights on reclaiming occupancy of the Benue State Government House, Makurdi at the 2027 Gubernatorial Election in the state,” he added
