During a meeting at the Ovwian Community Town Hall, the PDP leaders emphasized the importance of unity and loyalty to the party as they work to reclaim political control from the local to national level.

Former PDP Ward 7 leader, Odjeku Matthew Uparan, expressed disappointment that some individuals the party welcomed are now trying to mislead loyal members.

He reassured the gathering of the leaders’ commitment to the party, urging everyone to remain steadfast.

“There is no other party for us in Ward 7 except the PDP,” Uparan said. “If anyone from the APC approaches you, tell them to remain in their party while we remain in ours.”

Similarly, party chieftain Lawson A. Oghoifo accused former members who defected to the APC of previously causing unrest within the PDP.

He stated their exit has brought relief and stability to the party.“We’re not going anywhere. We’re not thieves, and only those with something to hide are on the run. We stand firm in the PDP,” Oghoifo added.

Ortom made the remarks during a recent inspection tour of major infrastructure projects in Abuja with Wike. Expressing admiration, he noted that he had never seen such a scale of development in the FCT, despite having observed the performance of many previous ministers.

“The president cannot transform the country alone; we must all support him regardless of party affiliations. Let’s rise above politics and support positive initiatives,” Ortom stated.

He praised Tinubu’s decision to appoint Wike—an opposition figure—to the critical position of FCT Minister, calling it a demonstration of true leadership.

“If President Tinubu was overly partisan, Wike would not have been appointed. This shows he values competence over politics,” Ortom added.

Highlighting specific projects such as the new bus terminals at Kugbo and Mabushi and the implementation of a painted taxi system, Ortom said the developments resemble what is typically seen in advanced cities abroad.

“I’ve lived in Abuja since 2008, but with the rapid changes happening now, I practically need a guide to navigate the city. That’s how transformed it has become in just one year,” he said.

In a recent interview with Hip TV, the ‘One Hit’ crooner said he works significantly harder than his colleagues to counter the stereotypes often associated with blindness.

He stated, “Being aware of my blindness pushes me to put in five times more effort than others. There’s a general belief that blind people are limited in what they can achieve, and I’ve always worked hard to prove otherwise.”

Encouraging people with disabilities to own their identity, Cobhams said it’s important to face reality rather than mask it with euphemisms.

“I’m completely blind, not just visually impaired, and that’s okay. I accept it fully, even find humor in it sometimes. It’s part of who I am, and I draw strength from it,” he added.
