The immediate past Governor of Benue, Samuel Ortom and the Peoples Democratic Party in the state has sent congratulatory message to Senator Gabriel Suswam on his victory at the National Assembly Election Petition Tribunal, as winner of the 2023 election for Benue North East Senatorial District.
Ortom in a statement issued by his media aide, Terver Akase said that the victory of Senator Suswam has further proven the capacity of the judiciary to uphold justice and serve as the bastion of democracy.
Ortom commended Suswam for following the legal process to get justice and congratulated the Peoples Democratic Party family in Benue State over the tribunal judgment.
In its own congratulatory message, the Peoples Democratic Party hailed the Tribunal for delivering substantial justice in the petition based on the facts and evidence rendered before in line with extant electoral laws, guidelines, and regulations, thereby boosting public confidence in the judiciary.
According to the statement issued and made available by the party publicity secretary in the state, Bemgba Iortyom said, “The party rejoices over the victory won particularly as it re-establishes its dominance in the upper chamber membership composition of the National Assembly in the state with two Senators out of three.
“This victory of Senator Suswam serves to heighten the hopes that PDP will likewise reclaim the governorship of the state at the Governorship Election Petition Tribunal through the judgement being awaited.
Iortyom said that the party was confident that the former Benue State Governor would deploy his wealth of experience and proven pedigree in the 9th Senate, to get back seamlessly into the business of law-making in the 10th Senate for the good of his constituents, the party, and Nigeria at large.
