Sekinat Osundiji

Former Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, has said he has no regrets over his decision to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the 2027 presidential election.

Ortom made the declaration during an interview on ARISE News, where he discussed the political situation in Benue State, the 2027 elections and his relationship with the state’s incumbent governor, Hyacinth Alia.

He said his support for Tinubu was a deliberate political decision after Nigerians gave the former Lagos State governor the mandate in 2023.

The former governor recalled that he supported Peter Obi in the 2023 presidential election but changed his position after Tinubu emerged as president.
