2023: Former minister, Sam Odeh moves to succeed Ortom as Benue Governor

Former Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Samuel Odeh, has joined the long list of Idoma sons eyeing the Benue State governorship stool.

Odeh is running for the office of the governor in the 2023 election on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, according to a campaign poster sighted by IDOMA VOICE on Wednesday.

Recall that Odeh had gunned for the number one seat in 2015 but lost out to Tarzor.

In 2019, he became running mate to APC guber candidate, Emmanuel Jime, but lost to the incumbent, Samuel Ortom.

However, the poster sighted by IDOMA VOICE had a bold inscription that read, The Bridge 2023. Support Sam Odeh mni, for Governor, Benue State.

The entrance of Odeh has made it the sixth Idoma son that is eyeing the governorship seat.

Already, Ada Chenge, Daniel Onjeh, Steve Lawani, Mathias Oyigeya have already made their intentions known.
