Samuel Ortom: I’m Ready To Sacrifice My Senatorial Ambition For Peter Obi To Win (Video)
Let us not miss this opportunity that God himself is providing. The youth have told me, my own people have told me
Benue State Governor Samuel Ortom says he is willing to give up his senatorial ambitions this Saturday if it means ensuring the victory of Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi.
iexclusivenews reports that Mr Ortom identified with those who believed in Nigeria’s unity and cooperation, claiming that it is for this reason that he accommodates everyone.
“So, let us not miss this opportunity that God himself is providing. The youth have told me, my own people have told me – stakeholders here, traditional rulers, party people across party lines. Obi’s matter is not about APC or PDP or SDP or any other party. It’s about Nigeria.”
Speaking to the crowd, he told them that they have the population, adding that they should thank God for “what is unfolding”.

He described Peter Obi as a species that is not bound by ethnicity.
“That is why when I hear some prominent Igbo personalities castigating Peter Obi for contesting the election – is it not you people that have been saying you have been marginalised since after the war?
“The opportunity has come today and you’re still complaining. What do you want?! What are you looking for?
“The whole country – North, South, East, and West – are saying Peter Obi, and you hear some people say, ‘We don’t want it.’ Haba! Those people should be outcasts.”
