Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State has asked new members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who decamped from the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to submit to party hierarchy and shun acts of indiscipline within the APC to enable the party consolidate.
The Governor gave this advice while receiving into the party, hundreds of PDP members from Ushongu and Kwande Local Government, led by the immediate past PDP State Secretary, Mr Bem Dzoho.
The former PDP Secretary said that his people could no longer afford to play opposition politics, considering the performance of the Governor in sectors like education, health and infrastructural development.
Governor Ortom assured them of equal opportunity in the party, but warned that the APC-led government in the state has remained relevant because of the transparent management of scares resources and its firm stand against corruption.
