Nigeria Elections: Ortom votes for Peter Obi, shows ballot paper

Ortom viotes for Peter Obi Ortom viotes for Peter Obi

The governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom has confirmed voting for Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party.

This comes days after the two-time governor of the state openly pledged his support for Obi few hours after a Makurdi High Court restrained the PDP from either suspending or expelling him from the party.

Ortom belongs to a five-member group of PDP governors known as G-5 aggrieved with the national leadership of the party.

The governors led by Nyesom Wike of Rivers State are asking the PDP National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, to resign since the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, is also a northerner.

My Ayu hails from the same senatorial district as Mr. Ortom.
