Benue PDP nominates ex-Gov Ortom as BoT member
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Benue State has nominated former Governor Samuel Ortom as a member of the party’s Board of Trustees (BoT).
The party’s state publicity secretary, Mr. Tim Nyor, disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday in Makurdi.
He said the decision followed the expiration of the tenure of the previous BoT members.
Nyor said: “In compliance with sections 32(1)(g) and 32(4) of the PDP Constitution, the nomination was announced via correspondence from the party secretariat to Chief Ortom and signed by the State Secretary, Mr. Dan Nyikwagh.
“The SWC believes that Ortom’s extensive experience and dedication to the party made him the ideal candidate for the position.
