The Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, on Friday, rued his failed senatorial bid, saying the 'market was not good' during his outing to claim a seat at the Red Chambers of the National Assembly.

He said, “I and others were able to achieve the desire of our members, the integrity group. Because the G5 came out as a result of the fallout of the PDP primary election and party convention in 2022. Some of us believe that there should be a power shift.

“Truly, I wanted my friend Governor Nyesom Wike to win and I supported him during the primaries and he didn’t make it. But we supported others who demanded that the presidency should go to the South. And you will recall that when the Southern governors met in Asaba and said the presidency should go to the South irrespective of wherever it will come out from, once it is from the South, it is okay.

“So, for me, on questions of whether I have lost my senatorial bid based on that, of course even before the election, I did say that it does not matter whether I lose my senatorial bid but let the real thing be done. The Bible says that ‘You shall know the truth and let the truth set you free’. There are issues that have to be resolved which are anchored on the rule of law and ensuring equity, fairness, and justice in every aspect of our lives in Nigeria.
