Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom has endorsed the Presidential candidate of Labour Party, Peter Obi, saying the former Anambra State Governor is the best person that can help deliver Nigeria from its challenges.
Ortom, a member of the opposition party — Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was full of Obi’s praises, lauding him for visiting the camps of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ with them.
The Benue State Governor said: “Several presidential candidates have come here, and none of them have chosen to visit those IDPs camps and look at their plight to see how they are doing and give them hope that when they win, they will bring them succour, help, and hope.
“For you to have chosen to visit the IDPs on a Christmas Day that you should be celebrating with your family, for me as a Christian, I say God will bless you and your aspirations. My prayer is that God will bless your aspiration to be the president of this country.
“Because I have seen capacity, faith, and hope, and I have seen someone who can bring the required equity, justice, and fairness that I have been pursuing since I became governor in 2015. If I were not in PDP, I would have been following you all over the place to canvass and vote for you.
“But because I’m in PDP, I’m telling Nigerians that this man can help deliver this country from its challenges,” he concluded.
