The Benue Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has announced the suspension of the former Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, and three other party members over allegations of anti-party activities.
The decision was reached during the State Working Committee (SWC) meeting of the PDP in Makurdi. Alongside Ortom, the state Deputy Chairman of PDP, Mr. Isaac Mffor, and the state Publicity Secretary, Mr. Bemgba Iortyom, have also been suspended.
The party's Media Consultant, Cornelius Hwande, issued a statement on Monday, announcing the suspensions.
According to Hwande, Ortom was suspended for endorsing the Labour Party candidate in the 2023 election and for urging Benue PDP members to vote for the APC in the 2027 Presidential election.
The party's Vice Chairman of Zone A, Azua Ashongo, was suspended for gross insubordination and indiscipline.
The suspension of Mffor and Iortyom stemmed from their alleged involvement in the misappropriation of Congress materials during last Saturday's ward congresses in Buruku and Ushongo local government areas, respectively.
