Ortom announces his return to the PDP
Members of the Peoples Democratic Party in the House of Representatives have condemned moves by members of the All progressives Congress in the Benue State House of Assembly to impeach Governor Samuel Ortom.
Famzn News had reported that eight lawmakers on the platform of the APC had served impeachment notice to Ortom.
The lawmakers gained access to the state assembly complex on Monday, despite the presence of police operatives.
Terkimbi Ikyange, the Speaker who was recently impeached by the House, served as spokesperson for the eight lawmakers.
He told newsmen that the Assembly had commenced impeachment proceedings against Ortom based on allegations of diversion of state funds and abuse of office.
But in its reaction, the PDP caucus, led by the Deputy Minority Leader, Chukwuka Onyema, said it was “an illegality and gross violation of the 1999 Constitution.”
