Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom has obtained an interim injunction preventing the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from suspending, exiling, or punishing him in any other way until the outcome of an interlocutory injunction brought before Makurdi-based High Court Justice A I. Ityomyiman.
While waiting for the outcome of the same interlocutory injunction filed before Justice A I. Ityomyiman, Ortom also obtained a temporary order barring the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from taking any action against him in the upcoming election where he is running as the PDP candidate for the Benue North senatorial district.
The injunction was issued at a time when he and G5 governors members have been accused of engaging in anti-party activities and openly supporting other presidential candidates asides the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Alh. Atiku Abubakar.
