The immediate past Benue Governor,Ortom called on all stakeholders to remain committed to the shared objectives and aspirations of the PDP, commending party members for their peaceful conduct during the recently concluded Ward Congresses.
He encouraged party supporters to exhibit the same spirit by conducting themselves orderly during the forthcoming Local Government and State Congresses for the party to bounce back to life.
