Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom and his predecessor, Senator Gabriel Suswam, are sure of picking the Benue North West and Benue North East senatorial tickets respectively as they don’t have opponents in their primary elections while that of Benue South where the incumbent, Senator Abba Moro is gunning for second tenure has been shifted to today.
Senator Moro will contest the votes of delegates with Hon. Joe Ojobo, a former member of Benue State House of Assembly and former House of Representatives member representing Ado/Okpokwu/Ogbadibo, Hon. Hassan Saleh.
Meanwhile, incumbent House of Representatives members on the platform of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP from Benue State have lost the primary elections.
