The Governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom on Monday revealed the presidential candidate he will support in the 2023 general election.

Ortom in a statement released on Monday declared the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar as the candidate he will support in the forthcoming election.

The Benue State Governor noted that whatever happened during the presidential primary of the main opposition party and the nomination of the party’s vice presidential candidate is now a thing of the past.

He vow not to contradict the statement of Atiku where he claimed that a committee set up to suggest the party’s vice presidential candidate did not nominate Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State as his running mate.
