Benue State Governor Samuel Ortom has dumped the political party, All Progressives Congress (APC). The governor disclosed this on Monday, at the Government House in Makurdi, the state capital, while swearing in his Special Adviser on Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Jerome Torshimbe.
Explaining the reasons behind his action, the governor said he has been sent out of APC and is currently exploring a new option to actualise his future ambition.
The governor has not, however, announced the party he will be joining, saying only that he is consulting with relevant stakeholders and will soon announce his next move.
“As for party, I have been given a red card and I’m outside the pitch. So, if I have been given a red card and I’m standing outside, I’m a free man,
“So, I don’t know what will happen next; but I’m waiting. If approached, then I will tell the Benue people that I’m joining another football club,” he said.
The governor, speaking concerning the challenges confronting the state expressed the belief that it will soon come to an end.
“Many people have been wondering that though we dedicated the state to God, we are still facing challenges; but all these challenges that we see today, we shall see them no more.”
Governor Ortom urged his newly appointed special adviser to justify the confidence reposed in him through hardwork and commitment to duty and to imbibe the core values of his administration which include transparency, accountability, justice and equity.

There's difference between dumping n being sent out. We in benue prefer to hear "he was sent out". Take note

that should be strange in the political spectrum of Nigeria, for a party to dump, or reject a member. when the apc came up with propaganda of change, i thought they could do that, but to my surprise they received all the corrupt members from other parties, harbor, and give them exotic positions!!! otorm is being humble to use that term" red card" he is actually dumping the party.
