There was tension at the meeting of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, as the gubernatorial candidate in the 2023 Kogi State election, Sen Dino Melaye and the immediate past governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom were involved in a heated exchange.
The incident happened during a crucial meeting in Abuja on Wednesday, April 17, between stakeholders of the opposition party’s north-central geopolitical zone.
