Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has said history would be
kind to members of the G-5 governors for standing for equity, justice and
fairness despite their losses during the February 25 election.
Recall that some of the governors elected under the Peoples
Democratic Party who named themselves G-5 lost their senatorial bids during the
election.
Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of
Enugu State, Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State were defeated in their various
senatorial districts.
Speaking on the matter during a media chat with some
selected journalists in Port Harcourt on Wednesday, Wike who is the leader of
the G-5 said though the members lost their elections, history will be kind to
them for producing a Southern president.
He said, “Ortom said even if he loses his senatorial
election, let equity, justice and fairness prevail. He may not gain it now. But
history will be kind to him.
“Same applies to Ugwuanyi and Ikpeazu. Makinde said even if
he lost his governorship ambition, he was interested in the unity of Nigeria”.
