The political parties under the auspices of Forum of Registered Political Parties, Benue State Chapter, spoke through the forum’s chairman, Mr. Godwin Odeh during a courtesy call on the Governor at the Benue Peoples House, Makurdi.
Mr. Odeh stated that they took the decision after carefully assessing the goodwill and efforts of the Governor in the defence of the Benue Valley, stressing that they resolved to channel their networks to mobilise their members to vote for the Governor next Saturday.

Nine governorship candidates of various political parties, as well as many candidates for the National Assembly, who lost in the recent elections also expressed support for the Governor’s reelection.
Those who spoke during the occasion, including Franc Utov and Melvin Ejeh, stated that the margin of Governor Ortom’s victory in next Saturday’s polls would be in ratio of ninety is to ten.
