    2023: Ortom Withdraws Support For Atiku

    Benue State Governor Samuel Ortom on Tuesday withdrew his support for the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar.

    Mr Ortom accused the PDP candidate of dishonoring him as Governor and working against the interest of Benue residents.

    His comments came after a group of elder statesmen in Benue, Minda Leaders of Thoughts, also withdrew their support for Atiku over alleged hate speech and profiling of Benue people.

    Mr Ortom appeared to have been incensed over Atiku’s comments on the recent killings by suspected herdsmen in Benue state.

    He accused Atiku of working with Miyetti Allah, a herdsmen group with a militant arm.

    “It was not correct for a presidential candidate who is seeking to rule the people to say that kind of thing,” Mr Ortom said on Tuesday at the Chapel of Grace, Government House, Makurdi.

    “It was very wrong. And it would appear that he doesn’t even reference me and consider me to be a Governor of my state.”

    Mr Ortom also said Mr Atiku had sidelined him in selecting his presidential campaign team.

    “I am not in his campaign team,” Ortom said. “The people they appointed there, no consent from me. So I’ll remain on my own. But I’m waiting; when the election comes, we shall vote the election according to the election.”
