Why I Worked Against Atiku In 2023 – Ortom

A former governor of Benue state, Samuel Ortom, has revealed why he worked against the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party PDP in 2023. According to him, he took the decision at the risk of his senatorial ambition. He disclosed this on Thursday while fielding questions on Arise Television’s Morning Show programme. The former Governor stated that be believed for equity, fairness and justice, the PDP should have allowed presidency to go the south. He said: “And when members of the PDP overwhelmingly accepted that the presidency should be in the north, we say no, it was wrong, because everyone knows here for equity, fairness and justice, we should allow presidency in the North for eight years, and the south should go for eight years. “I’ve already made my position known. I don’t want to be a hypocrite. I don’t want to pretend. And I made it very clear that was why I worked against the PDP in 2023 election. And I did say that even if I lose my senatorial election, After some eight years as governor, it doesn’t matter. But let it be known that there are people who believe in justice, equity and fairness.”
