Social commentator Reno Omokri has commended Governor Samuel Ortom for leaving the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Governor Ortom on Wedensday made the announcement of his defection at a meeting with elected local government chairmen and Councillors at the Government House Makurdi.
He stated that he has forwarded his resignation letter from the APC to his ward chairman.
Reacting in a post on his Twitter page, Omokri stated that the PDP would treat the people of Benue well.
He wrote: “I congratulate Benue State Governor, Sam Ortom, for coming to his senses and leaving APC, the party of sorrow, tears & blood, for PDP, the party of joy, laughter and prosperity. No Benue son should remain in a party that does nothing when herdsmen kill you!
“Let me, on behalf of former President Goodluck Jonathan, welcome Benue and her people back to the PDP. We will protect and progress you. No more will you observe mass burials in Benue. With the PDP, you will observe mass movement from poverty to prosperity and from sadness to gladness!
“Yesterday it was 16 Senators and 36 Representatives, today it is Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue. At this rate, are we sure that Aisha Buhari will not decamp from the other room to the throne room? everybody is coming to their senses. The body language has turned to body odour!”
