Members of the Coalition in their thousands across the 3 Senatorial districts of the State, Monday, March 13, 2023 who converged on the Benue Peoples House, Makurdi told Governor Samuel Ortom, of their decision to back the PDP gubernatorial candidate to emerge victorious at the polls.

He disclosed that the Obidients will synergise and ensure that Engr Uba wins the governorship election, stating that in Nigeria today, it is no longer about political parties but about individual candidates who stand for the interest of the people. 

Dr Nweze maintained that “the Benue valley is under threat and we need to rise in one voice to protect and defend it” stressing that the decision of the Obidients to pitch tent with the PDP candidate was in solidarity with Governor Samuel Ortom who has stood firmly to resist the invasion of the state. 

According to him, “We are here today to reciprocate the magnanimity of Governor Ortom to defend Benue State,” commending the Governor for standing in solidarity with the Obidient movement, even at the expense of his Senatorial aspiration.

Responding, Governor Ortom commended the leadership of the Coalition and the members for coming out in large numbers to endorse the PDP guber candidate. 

Governor Ortom said he was proud of supporting the Obidient movement, noting that “I see the movement as an emerging force for a better Nigeria where equity and justice will prevail.”

He lauded the Obidients for throwing their weight behind the PDP guber candidate, stating that “It is about the future of our state and Nigeria at large.”

The PDP Governorship candidate, Engr Titus Uba was in company of his running mate, Sir John Ngbede, said the endorsement and show of love by the Obidients was an emotional moment for him and expressed deep appreciation to members of the movement, promising not to disappoint the people when given their mandate.
