Atiku can go to hell, I won’t support him — Ortom

The Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom has told the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar to ‘go to hell’, insisting that he won’t support his presidential bid.

The Governor called the bluff of Atiku when he hosted his colleagues from Rivers, Oyo, Abia and Enugu States to a dinner party held at the government house, Makurdi.

The four governors, Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State, Seyi Makinde of Oyo and Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State, had arrived in Makurdi on Sunday for the official flag-off of the PDP governorship and parliamentary campaign scheduled for Monday.

They are scheduled to inaugurate some projects in the state before the campaign

According to Ortom, he would not support Atiku’s presidential bid to avert the killing of Benue people.

Ortom bemoaned the killing of 18 persons in his council area last Friday where a young man in his 20s had his eyes removed to send a message to him.

He said, “To hell with Atiku and anyone supporting him. They should go and tell him. You want me to be slave for a Fulani. It’s better I die. Anybody supporting Atiku is an enemy of Benue.

My people are being killed and you want me to be quiet.

“My tenure ends in May and you can do whatever you want if you think you have the powers. I have written my will. When I gave it to my wife, she cried all night. If I die at 62, many of my mates have gone long time ago and If I die today, I’m a fulfilled person but let it be recorded that I died resisting the invasion and killing of my people.

“I will never support a Fulani man to become president. If there is another person who is ready to work with me and ensure the security of my people, I will work with him,” Ortom said.
