Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State has said he would rather work for the success of Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, if he were not to be a member of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Ortom stated this on Wednesday when he hosted Obi at his private residence in Abuja.
He said, “I’m in PDP and I am working for PDP but I tell you if I were not in PDP, you will see me working for Peter Obi but I am in PDP. Let’s see how things work our but the truth is that the Bible says a man can receive nothing except it is given it to him.”
According to Ortom, Obi may not have the wherewithal but if God decides no one can stop it.
