G5 governors soon to announce preferred presidential candidate — Ortom, Wike

6 January 2023 

Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State and his Benue State counterpart, Samuel Ortom on Thursday said their alliance within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) known as the G5 or the Integrity Group remains solid.

According to the governors, the G5 will soon announce its preferred choice of presidential candidate for the February 25 election in Nigeria.

Wike and Ortom spoke at the Mapo Hall in Ibadan, the Oyo State Capital, during the flag-off of campaigns for the reelection of Governor Seyi Makinde.

Makinde, Ortom, Wike, Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia and Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu are members of the integrity group also known as the G-5.

Wearing traditional attire synonymous with Yorubaland, Wike, Ortom, Ugwuanyi and Ikpeazu addressed the crowd of PDP supporters, urging them to vote Makinde, whom they described as the “Youth Leader of the G5”, for second term in office.

“You all know that Seyi Makinde has done well since he came in 2019 and therefore the only way we can appreciate more and benefit more is for him to go back and complete the good work he has started,” Wike told the cheering crowd.

Wike urged the crowd to vote the PDP in the governorship election in the state, the various state House of Assembly, House of Representatives and Senate seats.

“The other one, Seyi will come to you,” he said of the G5 choice of a presidential candidate.

A U-Turn On Obi’s Endorsement?

Ortom’s Special Adviser, Media and Publicity, Terver Akase, in a statement on Tuesday, has said that even though the governor “strongly recommends Peter Obi to Nigerians” following the endorsement of the Labour Party’s presidential candidate by former President Olusegun Obasanjo, the Governor remains a member of the PDP.

Ortom on Thursday dismissed “social media gossip”, saying the G5 will let Nigerians know where it is headed at the appropriate time.

“We want to assure you that the Integrity Group and the G5 governors are committed members of the PDP in our various states.

“We have a challenge with the national leaders of our party because they have failed to deploy the internal resolution mechanism to solve the problems after the convention.

“We are committed to PDP in our various states and at the appropriate time, we are going to let you know where and what to do. We are united, we are together; don’t listen to gossip on social media – we are committed to PDP and all our candidates in our states,” the Benue State governor said.

Channels TV reports that the PDP Deputy National Chairman in the South-West, Taofeek Arapaja; the party’s Chairman in Oyo, Bayo Ogungbenro; amongst other party faithful were also in attendance.

However, the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar; and the party’s National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu were conspicuously absent from the event on Thursday.
