Ortom: PDP reacts to impeachment notice on Benue governor

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has reacted to the impeachment
notice served on the Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom.

Spokesperson of PDP, Kola Ologbondiyan said the impeachment notice was
condemnable.

Reports had it that eight members of the State House of Assembly had
earlier served the governor an impeachment notice.

But in a swift reaction, the governor, who recently decamped from the
All Progressives Congress, APC, to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP,
saidonly 8 lawmakers lacked the constitutional powers to remove him
from office.

Reacting to the saga, Ologbondiyan described the impeachment move as
an "illegality" which will not stand.

In a tweet, Ologbondiyan wrote: "Under the "change" govt, 8 assembly
members escorted by the @PoliceNG into the chamber in a bid to impeach
Gov Ortom is a serious dent on our democracy.

"This illegality will not stand. We call on all well-meaning Nigerians
to condemn this rascality."
