The Benue state governor who is a member of the self-styled integrity group or G-5 governors revealed that the ongoing crisis in the party is a result of the arrogance and nonchalant attitude of the leadership of the party
Governor Ortom said:
“Right from when we held our convention, instead of the leadership deploying its internal dispute resolution mechanism to look at the grievances that arose as a result of the dispute that arose from the primary, no matter how stupid they were, they have failed to do this.
“Rather, it is arrogance, nonchalant attitude; and nobody has cared to reach out to us even when we voiced out that things were not going on well."
The Benue state governor, however, lauded the efforts of Governor Tambuwal's visit while stating that he is positive that the crisis within the party (PDP) will be resolved soon.
He said:
“And we have discussed on my opinion on how I think this matter can be resolved. And I believe that as a leader and the DG of the campaign, he would do the needful because I am not alone. Talking to me alone will not solve the problem but reaching out to the others. I believe he will do the needful to pull the party together."
