The Benue state governor, Samuel Ortom has revealed that the principles driving the G5 aggrieved PDP governors, symbolise Intergrity, Patriotism, Equity, Fairness and Justice.
According to Vanguard, Ortom made the disclosure during a cultural night and dinner organised by Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State for his colleagues at the Government House, Enugu, on Friday, 11 November.
While thanking governor Ugwuanyi for the warm reception he accorded the G5 governors, Ortom said that the G5 governors are passionate about the peace, unity and progress of Nigeria. “We want things to work, ” he stressed.
“Our passion is how can we make things work here in Nigeria by being disciplined,” adding: “It is not about ourselves; it is not about our ego; it is about what we would do to turn around things and ensure the rule of law, due process and integrity in what we do, so that we will have other people visiting us, so that there will be security, so that our economy will be on the right path.”
“The challenge is that we can see that we are going beneath the bottom. But by the Grace of God we will all put our hands together. It is not just President Buhari, it is not just about political parties, APC, PDP and all other ones, but it is how can we come together and cause things to work for our country, Nigeria.
“God has blessed us. We have everything that is needed to make Nigeria not just the giant of Africa but also the giant of the world if we are able to put ourselves together and work together for our common interest,” the Benue state governor said.
The other members of the G5 governors that attended the event are ; Rivers State governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike and the Abia State governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, while governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State is presently out of the country for an official engagement.
