Why visited Gov Ortom of Benue – Peter Obi

The presidential candidate of Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi, has revealed why he visited Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State on Wednesday.

Obi, while responding to questions from journalists said he “met with Governor Samuel Ortom to commiserate with him on the ravages of the floods in Benue state resulting in huge losses of lives, property and farmlands and massive displacement.”

He went on: “I came to inform the Governor of my intent to visit some of the affected areas and discussed how we, as presidential candidates, can assist affected states.”
