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.

Governor Samuel Ortom expressed appreciation to the various parties and their candidates for their support, stressing that together, they would work to ensure victory for him and the PDP on March 9th, 2019.

The Governor charged the electorate not to be intimidated by threats from the opposition that they would deploy federal might to win the elections, saying Benue people are the might as far as the state is concerned.
