Ortom’s Ally Resigns From PDP, Joins Gov Alia

Benue State publicity secretary of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Tim Nyor, has resigned from the party and declared support for the second term re-election bid of Governor Hyacinth Alia.

Nyor, an ally of former governor Samuel Ortom, said he remained grateful for the opportunities the PDP gave him and for the relationships built over the years.

Taking to his Facebook page to announce his resignation from the PDP yesterday, Nyor wrote, “I write to formally tender my resignation as the state publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Benue State and to withdraw my membership from the party with immediate effect.

This decision has not been made lightly.

“It came after deep introspection and a painful but necessary acknowledgment that I can no longer function within a party system that appears deliberate and intentional in its march toward self-destruction. Loyalty must never become complicity, and commitment must never require the surrender of conscience.

“I am left with no choice but to align myself with what I consider a genuine developmental trajectory for our state, the reform-driven strides of Rev. Fr. Alia and what I describe as the Benue Renaissance.

“At this stage of my life, self-preservation, of my dignity, my conscience, and my mental sanity, must take precedence over partisan attachment.

“I remain grateful for the opportunities the PDP afforded me and for the relationships built over the years. However, this step is firm, final, and taken in the best interest of my convictions and my future.”
