The principles driving the group of five (G-5) governors
elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have been revealed
to symbolise integrity, patriotism, equity, fairness and justice.
The Governor of Benue State, Dr. Samuel Ortom, made the
disclosure during a cultural night dinner organised by Governor Ifeanyi
Ugwuanyi of Enugu State for his colleagues at the Government House, Enugu,
yesterday.
Other members of the G5 at the event were the Governor of
Rivers State, 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.
Thanking Gov. Ugwuanyi for the warm reception he accorded
them, Gov. Ortom said that the G5 PDP Governors also known as Integrity
Governors are passionate about the peace, unity and progress of Nigeria,
stating that “we want things to work.”
The Benue State Governor stressed that “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.”
Pointing out that proffering solutions to the present
situation of Nigeria is beyond political affiliation, Gov. Ortom harped on the
need for all hands to join together to make the country work for the interest
of the people.
“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,”
he said.
Gov. Ortom on behalf of the G-5 Governors, appreciated Gov.
Ugwuanyi and stakeholders of Enugu State present at the dinner including the
Deputy Governor, Hon. Mrs. Cecilia Ezeilo, the Speaker of the State House of
Assembly, Rt. Hon. Edward Ubosi, the PDP State Chairman, Hon. Augustine
Nnamani, the PDP governorship candidate, Dr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, his running
mate, Barr. Ifeanyi Ossai, and the Director General, PDP State Campaign
Organisation, Chief Ikeje Asogwa, for their hospitality and support and
promised that the governors will reciprocate the gesture during the flag off of
the PDP state campaign in Enugu.
“We are grateful once again. God bless you and may God
continue to bless this union of G5,” he added.
