It’s Better for Me to Lose My Senatorial Election Than to Allow A Northerner to Be The President – Ortom
Former Governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom, has reaffirmed his unwavering commitment to Nigeria’s unwritten zoning principle, stating that he was willing to sacrifice his own political ambition to protect the balance of power. Speaking during a recent interview on Channels Television, Ortom declared, “It is better for me to lose my senatorial election than to allow a Northerner to be president.”
Ortom’s comments underscore the deep-rooted belief among some political leaders that power rotation between the North and South remains critical for Nigeria’s unity.
