The undersigned wish to inform the public that claims of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Benue State’s new Executive Committee visiting Dr. Mathias Byuan in Abuja today are false and should be dismissed.
Sources suggest that the information stems from party members dissatisfied with the outcome of the party’s recent state elective congresses, who are now orchestrating malicious activities against the party and its officials.
Having converged in Abuja for independent private undertakings, we received an invitation from one of our colleagues, a relative of Dr. Byuan, to join him on a courtesy visit to the family during our gathering today.
Our visit to the Executive Director, Housing Finance and Accounts in the Federal Housing Authority (FHA) was wholly private and not in representation of the Benue PDP Exco, as just two among us are officials of the party and were not there to represent it in any capacity.
It is, therefore, beneath even the basest levels of pettiness and mischief to proceed by the sort of fabrications and embellishments that detractors have deployed about our visit to Dr. Byuan.
Our loyalty to the PDP and to the Leader of the party in Benue State, His Excellency, Chief Samuel Ortom, is beyond questioning, as such the piece of mischief by our disgruntled compatriots should be dismissed as laughable and not worth the attention of any serious minded person.
Signed:
1. Chief Isaac Mffo – Immediate Past Benue PDP Acting State Chairman
2. Rt. Hon Azua Avough Ashongo – Benue PDP State Deputy Chairman
3. Hon. Tim Nyor – Benue PDP State Publicity Secretary
4. Chief Bemgba Iortyom – Immediate Past Benue PDP State Publicity Secretary.
