Iortyom, whose appointment took effect March 13, 2026, said having held power cumulatively for 22 out of 27 years since 1999, PDP is credited with over 90 per cent of the development legacy of Benue State within the period.

He noted that from the administrations of George Akume to Gabriel Suswam and Samuel Ortom, the party, in line with its manifesto of peoples-focused governance, has carved a solid legacy of welfarism, development and security of the lives and property of the people.
He lamented that the legacies were currently under threat by the incumbent administration.
According to him, the maladministration of Benue State under the new administration has assumed tragic dimensions and directly threaten the continued existence of the state as a federating unit of Nigeria hence the need to the state “from certain crash and destruction at the hands of a governor who took the steering-wheel of leadership without even a Learners Permit, not to talk of a Driver’s Licence qualifying him for the job of steering the state’s affairs safely.”
