Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State at the welcome-home rally organised for the PDP governorship candidate in the state, Rt. Hon. Titus Uba, who returned from a medical trip to Germany embarked on in November 2022, declared that Uba and other PDP candidates will win the 2023 elections with a wide margin in Benue.
Ortom, in Makurdi, said that Uba would win and continue to move the state forward from where he would stop.
He appreciated God Almighty for healing the PDP governorship candidate, noting that he is now walking without any support.
Ortom had stated: “He is even raising his hands freely. This is to show that God has proved the forces of darkness wrong. They have been crushed by our Lord Jesus Christ.
“When he was sick, we depended on God and He has done us well. He did not disappoint us. We deeply appreciate Him.”
Uba, Speaker of Benue State House of Assembly, thanked God for answering the prayers of the people of Benue and granting him quick recovery.
He appreciated Ortom for footing his medical bills in Germany, adding that he owed Mr John Ngbede, his running mate, a debt of gratitude for standing in his gap during his absence.
He also appreciated the Deputy Speaker of the Benue Assembly, Chris Adaji, and other members for carrying out their duties creditably in his absence.
Deputy Governor Benson Abounu also said that he was happy because God had disappointed the peddlers of fake news against Uba.
Abounu also assured that people of Benue South Senatorial District would vote massively for the PDP in 2023.
Sen. Orker Jev said that Uba’s return from medical trip in Germany called for celebration because God had stood with them during his illness and treatment.
The Acting PDP State Chairman, Isaac Mffo, and the Director-General of Uba/Ngbede Campaign Organisation, Dr Cletus Tyokyaa, appreciated Benue people for keeping fate with PDP at all times.
