Terhemen Tarzoor, the governorship candidate under Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) questioned the judgement of the election petition tribunal asking the court to reverse the judgement and declare him winner of the April governorship election in the state. Terhemen Tarzoor filed that Governor Ortom is not qualified to contest the April 11, 2015 Benue state governorship election. Congratulations to Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue state.
