Samuel Ortom has been Governor of Benue State of Nigeria since 2015. In 2018, eight lawmakers of the Benue State House of Assembly under the All Progressives Congress, APC, served impeachment notice to the Governor of the state, Samuel Ortom.

According to Ortom’s spokesman, Tahav Agerzua, the lawmakers took over the Assembly complex to sit and pass the impeachment notice while the police blocked further access. Meanwhile, a detachment of heavily armed policemen has currently shut down the Benue State House of Assembly. The policemen blocked the entrance to the Assembly complex, denying workers access. Meanwhile, youths from Benue state have, in the early hours of Monday,30th of July  as at 5:am, trooped en masse to block the Benue Assembly complex over what they claimed was plots by some politicians loyal to the All Progressives Congress, APC, led Federal government to impeach Governor Samuel Ortom who has dumped the party for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP. Reports not yet very clear claim the security personnel are currently in a clash with the Benue youths over the alleged invasion of State’s Assembly complex as well as the planned plot to impeach the Governor. Reports also claim the police team is firing tear gas to disperse the youths. Governor Samuel Ortom had given reasons as to why he dumped the APC to include that his people, the Benue state youths, had forced him to leave the party or cease to be their Governor.
