The All Progressives Congress, APC, Benue State chapter has vowed to force the state governor, Samuel Ortom and his deputy, Benson Abounu to seek reelection in 2019.
The Chairman of the APC in Benue State, Comrade Abba Yaro, said Ortom had done well and had every reason to recontest in 2019.
Yaro made the remark yesterday at the IBB Square in Makurdi, during the celebration of this year’s Democracy Day.
“APC in the state will purchase form for Governor Ortom and his deputy to return in 2019.
“We will force them to contest because they have done well in the past two years, more than the 16 years spent by the PDP in power,” he said.
Also, the state’s Deputy Governor, Abounu, in his speech at the occasion, emphasised the need for the present administration to secure a second term in office.
Abounu said: “We believe in the grace of God that there will be a second tenure,” he said.
