Benue State Executive Governor, Samuel Ortom said the need to save Nigeria from total collapse caused him to lay aside any form of sentiment and rally behind Peter Obi in the forthcoming election.
Addressing the people of Benue at a Town Hall meeting in Makurdi, Ortom declared in clear terms that he is working for Obi on the ground that the nation needs a leader who will give the people equity, fairness, and justice.
“We have come to a time where we must leave out sentiments and save Nigeria by looking at individuals who can lead with the fear of God and provide gainful employment for the youths.
“We must, in this 2023, fashion a new Nigeria, Nigeria that will give the people equity, fairness, and justice.
“The PDP has failed Nigerians, APC has failed Nigerians, political parties have failed Nigerians, even the Labour Party has failed Nigerians. We must therefore look at individuals, those people who can deliver.
“So, this is not about party, I am not in the Labour Party but I am working for Peter Obi. Peter Obi will make sure that we sleep with our two eyes closed. These unnecessary killings that are going on in our country will stop.
“I have chosen to support him. I appreciate you all for choosing Peter Obi. Of the three presidential candidates, Peter Obi has the character, and competence to lead Nigeria.”
