We, the undersigned, state that information circulating in the public space that the newly instituted Executive Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Benue State paid a visit to Dr. Mathias Byuan in Abuja earlier today is totally false and should be disregarded.
The information is the handiwork of members of the party who have become disgruntled following their defeat at the party’s recently concluded elective congresses in the state, and have taken to perpetrating mischief against the party and its officials.
We came to Abuja on separate private engagements, and in the course of our interaction this morning, one amongst us who is an in-law to Dr. Byuan, invited us to accompany him on a courtesy visit to the family.

Our visit to the Executive Director, Housing Finance and Accounts in the Federal Housing Authority (FHA) was wholly private and not in representation of the Benue PDP Exco, as just two among us are officials of the party and were not there to represent it in any capacity.
It is, therefore, beneath even the basest levels of pettiness and mischief to proceed by the sort of fabrications and embellishments that detractors have deployed about our visit to Dr. Byuan.
Our loyalty to the PDP and to the Leader of the party in Benue State, His Excellency, Chief Samuel Ortom, is beyond questioning, as such the piece of mischief by our disgruntled compatriots should be dismissed as laughable and not worth the attention of any serious minded person.
Signed:
1. Chief Isaac Mffo – Immediate Past Benue PDP Acting State Chairman
2. Rt. Hon Azua Avough Ashongo – Benue PDP State Deputy Chairman
3. Hon. Tim Nyor – Benue PDP State Publicity Secretary
4. Chief Bemgba Iortyom – Immediate Past Benue PDP State Publicity Secretary.
