The immediate past Governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom, has called on Nigerians to put aside their political affiliations and come together in support of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.
Speaking during a tour of ongoing projects in Abuja alongside the FCT Minister, Ortom, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) while commending the efforts of Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, emphasized the importance of national unity and collective action toward Nigeria’s progress.

He said, “Mr. President alone cannot fix Nigeria. We need to join hands with him, irrespective of party affiliations. Let us put politics aside and support what is good.
“I’ve seen several Ministers of the FCT, but this is the first time I am witnessing monumental development in Abuja.“I am very proud of what my friend and colleague, Nyesom Wike, is doing.
“If Mr. President was a partisan leader, he wouldn’t have appointed Wike, who is from the opposition. But he saw capacity, and that’s leadership.
“I’ve seen Kugbo and Mabushi terminals these are facilities we usually see abroad. To now see them in our own capital is something to celebrate.
“I have lived in Abuja since 2008, but with what I see today, I need a guide to move around. That’s how much the city has changed in just one year.”
According to analysts, Ortom’s remarks underscore his admiration for the infrastructural strides being made under President Tinubu’s administration, particularly the visible transformation in the capital city spearheaded by Minister Wike.
