The National Chairman, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Iyorchia Ayu, has sworn he would not attempt to meet with Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue state in light of the ongoing conflict stifling the party.
Ayu made the vow when he declined the elders of the Jemgbah PDP’s suggestion that they meet with Ortom to negotiate a peace.
The Jemgbah geo-political bloc also includes the PDP chairman.
Ayu declined the invitation to meet with Ortom, stating he had no issues with the Governor, when he spoke to Jemgbah PDP elders at Gboko on Saturday.
“I have no issues with the Governor, so I won’t see him, he declared. I won’t even approach a monarch to reach a resolution. No necessity exists,”Ayu stated.
