Ortom: PDP Exit Looms As Governorship Tenure Nears End
-
Ortom has opened up about the possibility of dumping the PDP for APC after his tenure as Governor.
EKO HOT BLOG reports that Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State has firmly quashed the possibility of defecting to the All Progressives Congress (APC) after his tenure concludes.
However, Ortom expressed his commitment to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and declared his determination to support and contribute to the presidency of Bola Tinubu as the elected leader.
Speaking on Arise Television’s Morning Show on Wednesday, the governor said he would continue to ensure equity and justice in Nigeria.
Ortom said 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.”
