Former Benue State Governor Samuel Ortom has dIsclosed that the G-5 Group within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will support President Bola Tinubu’s re-election in 2027.
The G-5 include Ortom, FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, former Enugu State Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, former Abiua State Governor Okezie Ikpeazu and Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde.
Incidentally, all the members of the group finished their second term of eight years as governor last May except Makinde who is now in his second term.
Ortom spoke on Sunday at a luncheon in Port Harcourt which was hosted by the former Rivers State Governor and Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.
The former Benue Governor also affirmed that the G-5 had no regret for supporting Tinubu’s victory in the last poll, insisting that the group will again back Tinubu for a second term in office as Nigeria’s president in 2027.
Ortom further assured Nigerians that Tinubu will fix security, economy and other critical areas of challenge to the citizens.
He said, “If we work to ensure Bola Ahmed succeeds, there will 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 President Bola Ahmed Tinubu rule us for eight years.
