Gov. Ortom backs Peter Obi for president in 2023 and claims that he can bring about change in Nigeria.
Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State has asked Nigerians to vote for Peter Obi of the Labour Party, LP, in the presidential election of 2023.
Obi, according to Ortom, is the ideal candidate to help Nigeria overcome its problems.
He made the comment while praising Obi for spending Christmas Day touring the camps of the internally displaced people, or IDPs, in the state.
The governor prayed for God to favor Obi’s presidential aspirations while speaking in Makurdi.

“Several presidential candidates have gone here, but none of them have decided to go to those IDP camps and look at their situation to see how they are doing and give them hope that when they win, they will bring them comfort, help, and hope,” Ortom claims.
“For me as a Christian, I say God will reward you and your dreams for choosing to visit the IDPs on a Christmas day that you should be celebrating with your family. My prayer is that God would grant you success in your bid to become this nation’s president.
“Because I have observed aptitude, hope, and faith, and I have observed someone who can deliver the necessary equity, justice, and fairness that I have been pursuing since I became governor in 2015. If I weren’t a member of PDP, I would have been canvassing for you everywhere I went.
However, I’m telling Nigerians that this man can help our country overcome its problems since I’m in the PDP.
