A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and senatorial hopeful for Benue North-East, Hon. Thomas Tyolumun Unongo, has felicitated with former Benue State Governor, Dr. Samuel Ortom, on his 65th birthday.
Unongo praised Ortom’s leadership and contributions to the development and political stability of the state.

Hon. Thomas Tyolumun Unongo, a senatorial aspirant representing Benue North-East Senatorial District (Zone A), has extended warm birthday wishes to former Governor of Benue State, Dr. Samuel Ortom, who clocks 65.

In a goodwill message released on Thursday, Unongo described Ortom as a steadfast leader whose tenure left a significant mark on the political and socio-economic landscape of Benue State.

He commended the former governor for his role as a leader within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state, noting that Ortom’s influence continues to shape party direction and grassroots mobilization.

“Dr. Ortom has demonstrated courage and commitment in leadership, standing firmly on issues affecting Benue people,” Unongo reportedly stated.

The senatorial hopeful further acknowledged Ortom’s contributions to governance and his advocacy on key issues, particularly during his time in office.

Dr. Ortom, who served as governor from 2015 to 2023, remains a prominent figure in Benue politics and a key leader within the PDP structure in the state.

Unongo’s message is seen by observers as both a tribute and a reaffirmation of political alignment within the party ahead of future electoral activities in the region.
