Benue Youths block Governor Ortom’s convoy, insist he must decamp from APC

Benue youths on Wednesday prevented Governor Samuel Ortom from attending meeting with the National leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abuja, threatening to vote him out if he insists on staying with the party.

According to senior special assistant to the governor on media, Nelson Ogbu who shared the photos, the youths angrily removed the APC flag on the Governor’s vehicle and asked him to go back to Government House.

Governor Ortom who was already on his way to Abuja for the meeting with the APC leaders pleaded with the youths to allow him attend the meeting assuring them that their interest would be protected.

The youths, however refused, insisting that the only option available to them was for the Governor to make a U-turn.
