Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State has lambasted some Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship aspirants.
13 governorship aspirants had told Ortom not to leave the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the PDP.
In a statement on Monday through his Special Adviser on Media, Tahav Agerzua, the governor stated the aspirants that he did not need to consult them before joining the PDP.
He asked: “Must the governor seek their permission before joining the PDP?
“And l don’t think the governor has announced that he is going into the PDP, I don’t think.
“When the appropriate time comes, such an issue would be addressed.
“Maybe, if you talk about the PDP, l know prominent people within the PDP that have asked Ortom to come to the party.
“So, if you juxtapose the position, you will know where and who have more powers to admit or keep Ortom out.”
