Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State has one again said he’s yet to know the presidential candidate he will support in 2023.
Ortom is a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) but he has accused the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar of not properly consulting stakeholders in choosing a running mate.
While reiterating that the party is supreme, Mr Ortom said he is “hibernating” when asked if he may consider supporting a candidate outside the PDP.
“I am into hibernation,” he said. “I am praying. Let me go spiritual. The bible says, ‘as many as are led by the spirit of God are the sons of God’.
“I want to be led by God. After my prayers, God will direct me.
“When I say I am confused, I have to go back to the drawing board and ask God, what should I do?
“So, by the time I come out of hibernation, I will know what to do.”
“The candidate who won the primary has the final say, I have no problem with that,” Mr Ortom said.
“But I think that moving forward Wike would have been reached out to. Even some of us who were supporting Wike, we would have been told.”
