In a strong show of unity and strategic coordination, Leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Benue State, His Excellency, Chief Dr. Samuel Ortom, on Saturday received a joint briefing from two of the party’s key flag-bearers at his Abuja residence.
The meeting brought together the Benue PDP Governorship candidate, Chief Michael Kaase Aondoakaa, SAN, and the PDP Senatorial candidate for Zone ‘A’, Thomas Tyolumun Unongo.
Unongo who had just returned from a brief official engagement in Lagos, joined Chief Aondoakaa at the residence of the former Governor to formally brief the party leader on the progress, momentum and grassroots acceptance of their campaign activities, particularly in Zone ‘A’.
The briefing, which was held behind closed doors, was described as highly cordial, frank and strategic.
In attendance were some critical stakeholders of the Benue PDP, including former Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice of Benue State, Barr. Michael Gusa; former PDP Chairman for Kwande Local Government Area, Hon. Iorfa Dzoho; as well as Ushongo-born international business mogul, Mr. Terna Hemba, popularly known as NEZAM.
Sources close to the meeting disclosed that deliberations focused extensively on campaign strategy, consolidation of party unity, and grassroots mobilization ahead of the 2027 general elections.
More importantly, the meeting provided a valuable opportunity for strengthening the strong and cordial bond between the Leader of the Benue PDP, Chief Ortom, and the party’s flag-bearers, ensuring a united front going into the elections.
Political observers have described the Abuja meeting as a clear demonstration of unity within the Benue PDP family and a renewed, collective commitment to reclaiming Zone ‘A’ and Benue State back to the PDP come 2027.
