Former Benue State governor, Chief Samuel Ortom, has said that God told him not to contest any election in 2027.
Ortom said that he had no option but to respect God’s wish.
The former governor made the disclosure on Tuesday in Makurdi when People’s Democracy Party (PDP) G-14 members paid him a courtesy visit.
He admitted that he failed to consult God before joining the 2023 election, hence his defeat.
Ortom stated that the PDP was determined to take over the Benue Government House in 2027.
“I’m not contesting the 2027 election. I knew why I lost the election in 2023. I didn’t consult God. My people purchased the forms for me, and I accepted them without consulting God.
“God has revealed everything to me. He has asked me to wait for him,” he said.
