DAILY POST reports that Ortom\u2019s supporters and those of Senator Gabriel Suswam recently clashed over control of the party\u2019s structure.<\/p>\n

The party had split into factions with a series of suspension reports from different quarters.<\/p>\n

However, Ortom in a statement issued on Monday by his spokesman, Terver Akase urged all remembers of the party to work towards maintaining peace and unity in the state.<\/p>\n

Ortom stressed that in politics, differing opinions and positions are inevitable, stating that the differences often serve to deepen the democratic process and contribute to enriching discourses within political parties.<\/p>\n

He pointed out that he and Senator Suswam share a long-standing friendship and mutual respect as leaders within the PDP, saying that they will always find amicable solutions to whatever political disagreements that may arise.<\/p>\n

Chief Ortom called on all stakeholders to remain committed and focused on the shared objectives and aspirations of PDP, as they have always done.<\/p>\n
