Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom has again expressed optimism that Nigerians would prefer to vote-in a candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP as the country’s next president in 2023.

While praying for the success of Udom’s aspiration, Governor Ortom encouraged him to trust God who is the only one that gives leadership.

He described Governor Ortom as an “elder brother” who has provided leadership direction for the PDP family in the country, adding that it was the reason he considered it appropriate to visit and solicit his support and that of Benue people.
Those on the visit of the presidential aspirant included the Chairman of his Campaign Council, Senator Gabriel Suswam as well as the Director General of the Campaign Organisation, Col Habibu Shuaibu, rtd and other members of his campaign team.
