Why we visited Ortom – Dickson [PHOTOS]

Some lawmakers under the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, on Wednesday
stormed Benue State.

The Governor of Bayelsa State, Seriake Dickson led the lawmakers to
show support to the embattled governor of the state, Samuel Ortom.

He was accompanied by Senator Ben Murray-Bruce.

Dickson, speaking assured Governor Ortom that he is not alone, adding
that he and other lawmakers in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP will
be by his side.

Dickson disclosed this on his Twitter page.

He wrote: "I am in Makurdi to condole with the government and good
people of Benue State over the killings as well as show solidarity
with Governor Samuel Ortom.

"I, on this note, call for the protection of democratic institutions
in Nigeria."

This is coming after the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
(EFCC) accused Ortom of 22 billion Naira fraud immediately after he
announced his defection from the All Progressives Congress, APC, to
the PDP.
