Former Benue State Commissioner Omale Omale has denied reports that he is defecting to the African Democratic Congress (ADC). The former commissioner for Power, Renewable Energy, and Transport affirmed his continued commitment to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in a statement released on Monday in Makurdi. Omale highlighted his loyalty to the APC, noting his status as a founding member and recalling the sacrifices he has made for the party.
The denial comes amid speculation that Omale was considering a switch to the ADC. He explained that he has no reason to abandon the APC, especially because he supports Governor Samuel Ortom, whom he regards as his political leader. As a key figure in the APC, Omale played a significant role in securing Ortom’s election in 2023 and was subsequently appointed commissioner.
Omale expressed confidence in the APC’s future, stating that he sees a “bright future” for himself within the party and is eager to reap the benefits of his hard work. He also emphasized his commitment to democratic principles, stressing the importance of playing politics according to the rules.
By refuting the rumors, Omale aims to reassure his supporters and the public of his loyalty to the APC and Governor Ortom. His statement underscores the ongoing dynamics in Benue’s political landscape, where alliances and party affiliations continue to shape governance. As the political climate evolves, Omale’s reaffirmation of his commitment to the APC is likely to influence the party’s stability and prospects in the region, highlighting the significance of Governor Ortom’s leadership and the complex web of alliances that underpin the state’s governance.
