Ezekiel Awulu Adaji, the leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Benue State, has officially distanced the party from the new coalition supported by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and advised members not to join it.

The party rejected the coalition as a scheme by “opportunistic politicians” seeking to deceive PDP followers by erroneously associating the movement with the party, according to a statement issued on Wednesday and signed by State Secretary Comrade Dan Nyikwagh.

“The PDP in Benue State has no affiliation with this coalition. We urge our members to remain loyal and not be misled by individuals who abandoned the party but are now seeking relevance by using the party’s name,” the statement read.

The coalition’s main players were also chastised by the party for their alleged political inaction during past elections and party events, only to reappearance to solicit support by taking advantage of the PDP’s existing clout.

“If they are truly popular, let them campaign based on their own records, not by hiding behind the legacy of our party,” the statement stressed.

The Benue PDP reaffirmed its faith in Chief Samuel Ortom’s leadership, saying the former governor is still totally dedicated to the party and is actively trying to reposition it for the 2027 elections.

The party advised its members to stick with the PDP and reject offers to join the Atiku-led coalition.
