The immediate past Governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom has appealed to his supporters and those of Senator Gabriel Suswam, to sheathe their swords and work towards maintaining peace and unity within the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in the state.
Ortom, in a statement by his Media Aide, Terver Akase, said in politics, differing opinions and positions are inevitable, but the differences often serve to deepen the democratic process and contribute to enriching discourses within political parties.
He pointed out that he and his predecessor share a long-standing friendship and mutual respect as leaders within the PDP and will always find amicable solutions to whatever political disagreements that may arise, by prioritizing the greater good of the party and its members.

Ortom called on all stakeholders to remain committed and focused on the shared objectives and aspirations of PDP, as they have always done.
He commended PDP members in the 23 local government areas of Benue State for their peaceful conduct in the recently concluded Ward Congresses of the party and expects them to exhibit the same spirit during the forthcoming Local Government and State Congresses.
Ortom further urged the party members to support the State Caretaker Committee of the party set up by the National Working Committee, to enable it succeed in its assignment.
