Samuel Ortom, the Benue State Governor Samuel Ortom, has vowed to support President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as he takes the mantle of power on May 29, 2023, while dismissing the rumour of defecting to the All Progressives Congress (APC), after leaving office.
Ortom, while speaking on Arise Television’s Morning Show on Wednesday, reiterated his commitment to equity and justice in Nigeria, adding that he worked for the emergence of a southern presidency because he wanted equity and justice.
According to him: “That is not on my table, I’m in PDP, and I worked for the Southern presidency, which Tinubu and Obi were part of. Defecting is not on my table now.
“If Tinubu is sworn in, I will continue to pray and support him to succeed.
“I remain the leader of PDP in Benue State but will continue to work for equity and justice in Nigeria.”
