The party in a statement issued by its
National Publicity Secretary, Kola
Ologbondiyan on Wednesday saluted the
courage of the governor, adding that
dumping the APC for the PDP was the
right thing to do.
“The return of the governor to PDP confirms the
fact that President Muhammadu Buhari led-
administration and the APC do not have the
welfare of Nigerians at heart, as they have
continually offer flimsy excuses over the
mindless killings that have caused untold
sorrow across the country, particularly in Benue
State.
“PDP recalls that the Buhari-led federal
government has failed in its basic responsibility
of protecting live, property and territorial
integrity of our nation.
“Painfully, Nigerians are being slaughtered in
Benue, Taraba, Plateau, Kaduna, Zamfara and
Sokoto states nearly on daily basis,” the
statement read in part.
