The National chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole says Samuel Ortom, governor of Benue state, was not pushed out of the party.

He revealed this on Monday at the party secretariat in Abuja while responding to questions on the withdrawal of Ortom.

Ortom had revealed that APC had given him a “red card” and this would enable him to join any political party that has an ideology worthy of being adopted by his administration.

However, the party chairman said he could not comment on the basis of rumour, saying APC would dig into the matter and react accordingly.

“This party will not comment on the basis of rumours and I am sure eventually we will find out the fact of the matter and base on those facts, we would act,” he said.

“I know that Ortom is a prominent member of the party. He has said repeatedly to me one on one that he will not leave the APC unless he was pushed out.

“I have since assumed the chairmanship of this party along with my brothers and sisters in the national working committee and I know that we have not shut out any governor, certainly not Ortom.”
