Benue State Governor Samuel Ortom has expressed optimism that the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) will be victorious in 2023 general elections in the State.
Ortom stated this on Tuesday in Adikpo, Kwande local government area at the flag off of Benue North East Senatorial District campaign, maintaining that the people of Zone A have always voted massively for the PDP.
“I also make bold to say that the Benue North West and Benue South Senatorial Districts are strongholds of the PDP in the state.”
“Come 2023 it will be PDP all the way. Our party will sweep all the positions,” Ortom boasted.
The Governor further assured that members of the party would continue to work together for the good of the state and PDP, stressing that he believed in unity of purpose.
Senator representing Benue North East Senatorial District Sen. Gabriel Suswam said the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has completely tackled the challenge of ballot box snatching with the introduction of Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BIVAS) into the electoral system.
Suswam advised athe people against even contemplating snatching ballot boxes because it would be of no use to them rather, they should concentrate on canvassing support for the party right at the polling units.
“The era of ballot box and other electoral materials snatching is over. If you snatch a ballot box you are wasting your time.
“All you need to do is to man your polling units with your Permanent Voters Card (PVC) to ensure victory for our party,” Suswam said.
