Samuel Ortom, the former Governor of Benue State, has revealed the reason behind his decision to oppose the 2023 presidential bid of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate.
Ortom admitted that he went against Atiku Abubakar’s candidacy, even though it posed a threat to his own senatorial race.
He made this known during an interview on the Morning Show aired by Arise Television on Thursday.
The ex-governor explained that, in his view, the principles of equity, fairness, and justice demanded that the PDP should have zoned the presidency to the southern part of the country.
He said: “And when members of the PDP overwhelmingly accepted that the presidency should be in the north, we say no, it was wrong, because everyone knows here for equity, fairness and justice, we should allow presidency in the North for eight years, and the south should go for eight years.

“I’ve already made my position known. I don’t want to be a hypocrite. I don’t want to pretend. And I made it very clear that was why I worked against the PDP in 2023 election. And I did say that even if I lose my senatorial election, After some eight years as governor, it doesn’t matter. But let it be known that there are people who believe in justice, equity and fairness.”
