DAILY POST was reliably informed that Ortom was given a rousing reception. As soon as the Governor’s convoy arrived at the National Secretariat, many party members who were outside the Wadata House began to chant ‘Ortom, Ortom, Ortom’, ‘We love you’, ‘Welcome home’ etc.
Inside the meeting hall, party stalwarts across the country warmly received the Governor with cheers and hugs.
