The ‘G5’ Governors of the People’s Democratic Party have declared their support for President Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general election.
The ‘G5’ which include Samuel Ortom (Benue), Nyesom Wike (Rivers), Emmanuel Ugwuanyi(Enugu), Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia) and Seyi Makinde (Oyo), emerged shortly after the PDP primary election that produced Atiku Abubakar as the party flag bearer in 2022.
Speaking on behalf the group at an event hosted by Wike in Abuja, Ortom revealed that the G5 had no regret supporting Tinubu’s victory in the 2023 Presidential election.
He assured Nigerians that Tinubu will fix security, economy and other critical areas of challenge in the country.
He further revealed that the group will support the President for a second term in office as Nigeria’s president in 2027.
“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 in 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 Bola Ahmed Tinubu rule us for eight years,” Ortom stated.
