“He Will Make Sure We Sleep With Our Two Eyes Closed”, Ortom Endorses Obi For President
Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom has endorsed Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), ahead of the forthcoming election.
A member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ortom announced the endorsement on Thursday at a town hall meeting in Makurdi, the state capital.
The governor cited the failure of the PDP and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to cater to Nigerians as the reason for his supporting Obi.
“This is not about party. I am not in Labour Party, but I am working for Peter Obi. Peter Obi will make sure that we sleep with our two eyes closed. These unnecessary killings that are going on in our country will stop,” Ortom said.
“Of the three presidential candidates, Peter Obi has the character and competence to lead Nigeria.
“We must, in this 2023, fashion a new Nigeria; Nigeria that will give the people equity, fairness, and justice.”
