Ortom<\/a>, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), is contesting the election in the Benue North-West senatorial district.<\/p>\nHis January endorsement of Obi came after months of refusal to support the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, whose emergence in May 2022 was viewed by several high-ranking party members as unfair.<\/p>\n
The Benue governor doubled down on his support for the former Anambra State governor while addressing members of the Igbo community in the state on Monday.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor me, it\u2019s not even that I\u2019m contesting an election. Yes, the form was bought for me by the people of Benue State. I\u2019ve gone round; they have accepted that they will vote [for] me,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut if I\u2019m to sacrifice my senatorial ambition for Peter Obi to win, so shall it be,\u201d he said to loud cheers from the crowd.<\/p>\n
He added, \u201cI know that if [any group of] people are connected in this world, they are the Igbo. This is the opportunity you have to say that an Igbo man from the South-East is president.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ortom identified with those who believed in the unity of Nigeria and working together, saying it was for this reason that he accommodates everybody.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, let us not miss this opportunity that God himself is providing. The youth have told me, my own people have told me \u2013 stakeholders here, traditional rulers, party people across party lines. Obi\u2019s matter is not about APC or PDP or SDP or any other party. It\u2019s about Nigeria.\u201d<\/p>\n
Speaking to the crowd, he told them that they have the population, adding that they should thank God for \u201cwhat is unfolding\u201d.<\/p>\n
He described Obi as a species that is not bound by ethnicity.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat is why when I hear some prominent Igbo personalities castigating Peter Obi for contesting the election \u2013 is it not you people that have been saying you have been marginalised since after the war?<\/p>\n
\u201cThe opportunity has come today and you\u2019re still complaining. What do you want?! What are you looking for? <\/p>\n
\u201cThe whole country \u2013 North, South, East, and West \u2013 are saying Peter Obi, and you hear some people say, \u2018We don\u2019t want it.\u2019 Haba! Those people should be outcasts<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
