“I want to implore you to vote enmasse for all candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Do not select any of them to vote for no matter the circumstances,” he said.
Also, former governor of the state, Gabriel Suswam, alleged neglect of the Tiv people whom he described as the ‘fourth largest tribe in the country’, in political appointments.
The State Chairman of the party, Mr. John Ngbede, also solicited votes for candidates of the PDP in the elections and urged them to guard their votes to avoid rigging.
A political chieftain in Benue North East, Mr. Demenongo Unom, urged the people to vote for Governor Ortom as a reward for defending the Benue people.
