Ortom made the clarification in a statement signed by Dr Terver Akase, his media adviser/consultant, and made available to newsmen in Makurdi.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that there were social media reports that Ortom has declared his intention to contest for the Benue North-West Senatorial seat in 2027.
“I have no intention whatsoever to contest any elective office in 2027. I have said this clearly, publicly, and repeatedly.
“I expect that a position stated this plainly would not require translation or creative reinterpretation,” he said.
The former governor emphasised his commitment to supporting democratic ideals, strengthening the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), and offering statesmanlike guidance and not chasing elective office in 2027.
He urged the public to treat the report for what it is: “a fabrication".
