According to Ortom, our desire is to see Nigeria succeed.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) colleagues of Benue State Governor Samuel Ortom have stated that their request is not for personal gain but rather is in the best interests of Nigerians.

Ortom made this statement on Friday when Nyesom Wike, the governor of Rivers, and Okezie Ikpeazu, the governor of Abia, welcomed him together with Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, the governor of Enugu.

Seyi Makinde, Samuel Ortom, Okezie Ikpeazu, Ifeanyi Ogwuanyi, and Nyesom Wike are among the individuals calling for the resignation of Iyorchia Ayu, the PDP’s national chairman.

Five PDP governors have decided to abandon the party’s presidential campaign as a result of the demand’s rift within the party.

The idea that the party’s presidential candidate and national chairman should not be from the same area underlies the governors’ demand for Ayu’s resignation.

According to Ortom, their demand is to make sure that justice, equity, and fairness are practiced within the party. He also expressed his desire for Nigeria to develop into a nation where things are done in an orderly manner.

According to him, they were adamant about “doing the right thing in the PDP and the country at large, not for their own interests, but for the interests of other Nigerians and their belief in the rule of law.”

“God has blessed Nigeria with both human and material resources, making it necessary for the people to unite despite party and religious sentiments in order to make it, not just as the giant of Africa but that of the world.

By God’s grace, he predicted, the PDP would triumph in every election in 2019 and thus be able to complete the task of freeing the nation from the APC.
