He appealed to the people, both the Tiv, Idoma, Igede and other tribes not to be divided as a result of the governorship contest but continue to work together in unity for the progress and development of the state. 
Earlier, Leader of the delegation, Elder David Amo said the visit was to thank Governor Ortom for the efforts he made with the other leaders of PDP to zone the Governorship seat to Vandeikya Local Government and prayed that God will repay him with higher positions. 

Two of the Governorship aspirants, Architect Joe Ikyaagha and Pharmacist Peter Chieshe who spoke on behalf of the other aspirants pledged their loyalty to the State Governor and the PDP, saying the choice of Engineer Uba was the decision of stakeholders, which they have to accept and work for its success. 
They assured that apart from mobilizing support for Engineer Uba to win the Governorship ticket, they will avail him with their blueprints for him to merge it with what he has to ensure that Benue State keeps moving forward. 

Former governorship aspirants who were present at the meeting included Arc Joe Ikyaagba, Dr Boniface Jibo, Susan Waya, Pharmacist Peter Chieshe and Dr Dominic Akaahan.
