The development was confirmed in a statement on Monday by the Media Consultant of the PDP, Cornelius Hwande.
According to Hwande , Ortom was suspended for his choice of the Labour Party candidate in the 2023 election and his statement calling on Benue PDP to vote for APC in the 2027 Presidential election .
He said : “The party’s Vice Chairman of Zone A, Azua Ashongo was also suspended for gross insubordination and indiscipline.
“The suspension of Mffor and Iortyom was because of their involvement in the snatching of Congress materials meant for the conduct of last Saturday’s ward congresses in Buruku and Ushongo local government areas respectively.”
