Avoid mistakes of 2015, Benue PDP tells electorate

The Benue State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has urged the electorate to avoid the mistakes of 2015 by voting for credible candidates this year who can tackle the avalanche of challenges bedevilling the country.

In a new year message yesterday, the state publicity secretary of the PDP, Bemgba Iortyom, said the forthcoming election is the time to right the wrongs of the past.

Iortyom said the party has reaffirmed confidence in the leadership of Governor Samuel Ortom, and his stand on issues both at the national and local levels of the polity.

The statement hailed the quality and resilience of what it described as the ‘Benue Spirit’ under Ortom which it said has endured and thrived under the most challenging circumstances.

“It is in light of this that our great party under the leadership of His Excellency, Governor Samuel Ortom in Benue State, charges the people to be vigilant against repeating the miscalculation of 2015 which gifted power to those undeserving of it at the national level.

“To the electorate, Benue PDP says, this is the time to right the wrongs of 2015, the time to sanitise our corridors of power and offices of public trust by keeping out demagogues and charlatans vying for election without any track record at previous duty posts or credibility of character.”
