Presidency: ‘We’ll fight, vote against Tinubu for opting to continue Buhari’s policies’ – Benue Gov, Ortom

Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State has disclosed why he would fight and work against the presidential ambition of Bola Tinubu, the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Ortom explained that he would urge his people to vote against Tinubu for insisting on continuing with the policies of President Muhammadu Buhari if elected Nigeria’s next president.

Recall that the APC National Leader last week informed Buhari of his intentions to run for the Presidency in 2023.

The former Lagos State governor said he would continue with the policies of Buhari’s administration if elected as president.

However, Ortom pointed out that Buhari’s policies and programmes were bad.

He spoke on Thursday in Makurdi, the State capital, while assenting to the amended Open Grazing Prohibition and Ranches Establishment Law 2017.

The Governor warned that the presidential aspirant would fail in his ambition if he opts to pursue Buhari’s policies.

According to Ortom: “I heard about one of the presidential aspirants who said he would continue from Buhari’s good legacies. I want to tell him that if nobody has told him, me I want to tell him that Buhari’s policies and programmes are not good.

“And anybody who is saying that some of us, in our own little way, we will fight him and tell our people to vote against him. So, he has failed ab initio.”
