Ortom Reacts To Obasanjo’s Endorsement Of Obi For 2023 Presidency

Benue State Governor Samuel Ortom has backed Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate Peter Obi in the upcoming elections.

This comes just 48 hours after former President Olusegun Obasanjo endorsed the former Anambra State governor in a six-page letter.

Ortom is one of five disgruntled Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governors known as the G5 or Integrity Group. Others are Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike, Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, Enugu State Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, and Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia).

The governors have decided not to campaign for the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, due to opposition to the party’s National Chairman, Senator Iyorchia Ayu, who is from the same region as the standard bearer.

Terver Akase, Ortom’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, said in a statement on Tuesday that the governor “strongly recommends Peter Obi to Nigerians as the man with the capacity to effectively tackle the country’s economic, security, and other challenges.”

The governor, according to Akase, believes Obi “possesses the qualities of a leader who will be a true President of this country by ensuring justice, equity, and fairness for all Nigerians.”

According to Ortom, the President Nigeria requires at this “challenging time” in its history is one who recognizes the urgent need to unite the people and quickly initiate policies and actions to re-direct the nation’s ship on the path of growth and development.

According to him, Peter Obi has all those qualities.
