In a spectacle at the national headquarters of the People's Democratic Party (PDP), former Benue State governor Samuel Ortom, a close ally of FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, was unceremoniously ousted by a faction loyal to Governors Seyi Makinde of Oyo State and Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State!

Sources on the ground were astonished as the scene erupted into pandemonium, with party members audibly demanding Ortom's removal. The piercing cries of “Let him out! Who is he? This is not your PDP!” reverberated through the halls, vividly capturing the chaotic atmosphere and brewing discontent within the party ranks.

As tension escalated, officials scrambled to escort Ortom away from the fray, prioritizing his safety amid the uproar. This dramatic incident unfolded just moments before Governors Makinde and Mohammed were set to face the media, spotlighting the fierce and escalating power struggle within the PDP.
