Apparently in a bid to further spite the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and its Presidential candidate for the 2023 general elections, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State has invited President Muhammadu Buhari to commission two newly-constructed cell blocks at the Makurdi Medium Correctional Centre in the wake of jailbreaks across the country.
Governor Ortom disclosed this at a meeting with the people of Ugondo, the host community for the correctional service, warning them against encroaching on land ceded to the service and any other federal agency contributing to the growth and security of the people of Benue.

The invitation was coming amid his disagreement with the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, which appears irredeemable.
Governor Ortom is also a prominent member of the PDP G5 led by his Rivers State counterpart, Nyesom Wike.
The group wants Benue-born Dr. Iyorchia Ayu to resign as a precondition to support Atiku’s 2023 presidential ambition.
