Former Benue State governor, Samuel Ortom, has dismissed claims that he is planning a political comeback ahead of the 2027 general elections.
In a statement issued on Saturday through his media aide, Dr Terver Akase, and released in Makurdi, Ortom made it clear that he has no interest in contesting for any elective office.
The clarification followed reports circulating on social media suggesting he was preparing to run for the Benue North-West Senatorial seat.
“I have no intention whatsoever to contest any elective office in 2027. I have said this clearly, publicly, and repeatedly. I expect that a position stated this plainly would not require translation or creative reinterpretation.”
The former governor stressed that his current focus is on contributing to national development by promoting democratic values and strengthening the People’s Democratic Party, rather than seeking political office.
He also urged the public to disregard the reports, describing them as nothing more than a fabrication.
