@Spotlight_Abby Gov Ortom has broken the table kpata kpata. He’s thoroughly upset with Atiku, says he is hibernating and waiting for God to tell him whether to support him or not. Watch Arise Tv
@PoojaMedia PDP in Chaos over Okowa VP over Wike. Gov. Ortom will chose Wike not Okowa & Atiku must reach out to Wike. Wahala
@Eusebiuskay Peter Obi should quickly pay a visit to Governor Ortom as soon as possible. He seems to be available. In his words “This is beyond partisan, it is not about PDP & APC but the individual who can rescue Nigeria

@soccerani Finally Gov. Ortom has spoken the mind of @GovWike. It’s obvious they’ll support another party for the presidential election especially when he kept saying that the situation in Nigeria is beyond partisan politics. Arise TV

@TemisanEA I listen to Gov Ortom, sometimes I’m not just “buying it”, he should be doing better, but you have to admit, the odds are stacked.
@DoshimaJohn Ortom is not looking out for Wike, he is looking out for himself. He has blamed Fulani herdsmen and Buhari for his incompetence and failure as Gov for 7yrs. How do you now expect him to sell Atiku, a Fulani herdsman, to his Benue folks? His confusion is gargantuan and real.
@malachyodo1 From Gov. ortom‘s submissions on Arise TV this morning, it is clear that PDP and Atiku have a serious problem on their hands as per the way Gov. Wike was sidelined in choosing Gov. Okowa. Wahala.
@Chuka_ndu i wish we had governors like Samuel Ortom or Benue state in the South East. For as long as i can remember, he has been vocal about and against the threat of the Fulani to our indigenous peoples. Thanks to Arise TV for always standing by the truth.
