Former Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom has denied the rumour spreading like wild harmattan fire that he plans to run for the presidency.

Ortom debunked the claim in a statement issued by his Media Adviser and Consultant, Terver Akase.

Akase said: “The attention of His Excellency Samuel Ortom has been drawn to a fake poster being circulated on social media alleging that he is preparing to run for president in 2027.”

“It is entirely false, unfounded and designed by mischief makers to spread confusion and fuel baseless political speculation.”

“The public should ignore the poster and avoid giving attention to “deliberate misinformation” aimed at deceiving unsuspecting Nigerians.”
