The League of Gboko East Voters has rallied behind the Benue State Assembly member representing Gboko East State Constituency, Rt. Hon. Becky Torkwase Orpin in a swift move against purported attempts to recall her from the Assembly.
The group condemned in totality the action describing it as coming from attention seekers.
Addressing the media, Terrence Kuanum, Convener of the League, denounced what he termed as orchestrated efforts by adversaries to undermine Orpin’s leadership and sow discord within the ruling party.
Kuanum stressed the unwavering confidence of Gboko East constituents in Orpin’s ability to deliver on their mandate.
He said “It is no doubt that those who are launching the crusade to bring her down and destroy our party in Gboko East before decamping to other politicial parties are fast running out of time.
“Architects of this agenda can’t wait anymore, hence the use of any willing tool and other low hanging fruits amongst our people. That is why they have become ruthless and more aggressive in their drive to destroy our party in Gboko East before decamping to another party.”
The League dismissed recent calls for her recall as a mere ploy initiated by political detractors, citing overwhelming support from the 12 council ward executives and stakeholders across the constituency. They rebuked such maneuvers as futile attempts to seize power within the party ranks.
Kuanum warned against the dangerous precedent set by these actions, urging stakeholders to prioritize unity and peace over divisive political machinations.
The Group reaffirmed their allegiance to Rt. Hon. Orpin, asserting that the power of the people remains paramount in determining their representation.
The press conference concluded with a call to all patriots and stakeholders to uphold the democratic principles enshrined in the constituency’s governance, ensuring that the voice of the people prevails against any attempts to undermine their collective will.
