A member of the Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Organization from Benue State, Hon Chille Igbawua, has said that the People's Democratic Party (PDP) will win all the elections in the state, adding that the Benue state Governor, Samuel Ortom, is equally favorably disposed to ensuring that all the candidates of the party emerge victorious without exceptions.
Hon. Igbawua, the immediate past Commissioner at the Public Complaints Commission (PCC) and a Governorship Aspirant on the PDP platform in the last party primaries in Benue State, stated after the inaugural meeting of the Presidential campaign council in Abuja, that from all his interactions at personal and political group levels, the Benue State Governor gives him the confidence that he wants the PDP to win at all levels.
According to him, "Benue State is a PDP state and indeed the only state in the North Central zone under a PDP Government. The Governor of Benue State is a staunch PDP stalwart and certainly does not have any plans to loose elections".
He continued: "The Governor himself is a senatorial candidate and he has consistently assured us that he recognizes His Excellency, Atiku Abubakar as the Presidential candidate and no one else.
"His utterances may be misconceived but he is fighting for greater peace in the party, and from my constant interactions with him both at personal and political group levels, I am confident that Benue state will deliver at all levels, including the Presidency.
"Perhaps, I should say that we have the National chairman, a former Senate President David Mark, 3 solid Senators including Gabriel Suswam and a host of other stalwarts. There is no cause for alarm regarding victory in Benue State for the PDP" Igbauwa assured. NNL.
