Former Governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom, said yesterday
that the PDP G5 group would support President Bola Tinubu’s re-election in
2027.
According to him, the group has no regret for supporting the
president in the last poll.
Ortom stated this at a luncheon hosted by the Minister of
the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, at his Port Harcourt residence.
Ahead of the presidential poll, Ortom alongside former
governors Okezie Ikpeazu, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, Nyesom Wike, and Governor Seyi
Makinde who make up the group rejected Atiku Abubakar as the Peoples Democratic
Party’s presidential candidate vowing to back a southern candidate.
The poll was eventually won by President Bola Tinubu of the
All Progressives Congress. While Wike joined Tinub’s cabinet, Ortom, Ikpeazu,
and Ugwanyi all lost their senatorial bids.
Addressing the gathering at the Lucheon, Ortom declared that
the PDP G5 would again back Tinubu for a second term in office as Nigeria’s
president.
“If we don’t work to ensure Bola Ahmed succeeds, there will
not be tomorrow for anybody to even contest the election at all.
“Our leader, Nyesom Wike, has already made a declaration
that in 2027, we are supporting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“We have nowhere to go because that is what Nigerians
believe. Even the past administration that took Nigeria from top to bottom, we
allowed them to work for eight years.
“So, why can’t a seasoned administrator in the person of
President Tinubu rule us for eight years?” he asked.
