Ortom explains reasons for lending Peter Obi his vehicle for Benue visit

Former Benue State Governor Samuel Ortom lent his vehicle to Peter Obi during his visit to meet victims of the June 2025 Yelewata attack. Ortom stated that the gesture was a simple act of courtesy and not a political endorsement, despite accusations from the Benue State Government. The vehicle used by Obi was traced back to Ortom, raising questions about his political allegiance. Ortom emphasized that Obi, as a former governor and presidential candidate, deserved respectful treatment during his visit.
