Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State has justified why he
met the Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, Governor Nyesom
Wike of Rivers State, among others.
Ortom explained that he is open-minded about receiving any
presidential candidate regardless of party affiliation.
He spoke on Tuesday while addressing journalists after
returning from Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
Obi had met with Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State,
Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State, Governor of Abia State, Okezie Ikpeazu;
former Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mohammed
Adoke.
Others at the meeting include former Governor of Ondo State,
Olusegun Mimiko; former Governor of Cross River State, Donald Duke; and former
Governor of Gombe State, Ibrahim Dankwanbo, among others.
However, Ortom said he couldn’t turn down a request to
attend such meetings.
Ortom explained that he did nothing wrong by attending the
meeting with Obi.
According to Ortom: “At the end, the solution to the
challenges of Nigeria is what matters. Where we are today calls for all hands
to be on deck.
“I am free to receive any candidate who comes visiting or
seeking audience with me. I cannot say no when such request comes.”
