2023: I’m consulting God on my senatorial ambition – Ortom

Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue on Saturday said he was still consulting God on his senatorial ambition in the 2023 general election.

“I am still consulting with God because I do not take any decision without consulting my God.

“If He says yes, I will go ahead and contest but if He says no, I will obey His decision,” Ortom said.

He also expressed confidence that the PDP stand a better chance to win overwhelmingly at the 2023 general election because the party was waxing stronger.

The governor told journalists in Makurdi that the PDP was better positioned now and was ready to wrestle power from the ruling APC.

“PDP as a party made mistakes in the past and has learnt a lot of lessons from its mistakes and it is fully prepared to take over the leadership of the country from the APC.

“Nobody should deceive you that PDP is polarised. We are working together as a party.

“We met and agreed that the positions which are currently in the North should go to the South, while those in the South should go to the North.

“This is the resolution of the Zoning Committee and it is graciously accepted at the national level.

“Nobody has begrudged the decision. It is widely accepted by all PDP members,” the governor said.
