Ortom said he had played politics with most politicians in the state for decades and had earned their confidence.
The aspirant said he had taken up complaints, which arose from the exercise from supporters across the state with the leadership of the party and expressed the hope that the issues would be resolved amicably.
According to him, some of the delegates and other major stakeholders, who had pledged support for his aspiration, had listed his God fearing nature, long standing experience in politics, exposure and service at all levels of government as well as contributions to the economic development of the state as the basis for their support.
The former Minister said the politicians told him that having fought and defeated poverty in his life, they wanted him to replicate the feat for the entire state.
He however noted that power belonged to God, who, he said crowned, maintaining that he looked to Him for ultimate victory.
