The Governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom has said that the G5 governors (the integrity group) are fully committed members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Governor Ortom stated this on Thursday in Ibadan, Oyo State, during the PDP State gubernatorial campaign flag-off, adding that they are all working round the clock to ensure that the party wins all elections in their respective states.
Ortom said the G5 governors and other members of the party working with them in the integrity group are “committed members of the PDP in their various states” and would work to ensure that candidates of the party in their states were elected in the forthcoming polls.
The governor stressed that the problem of the PDP at the national level was prolonged as a result of the failure of the leadership of the party to deploy its internal conflict resolution mechanisms to settle issues that arose after the national convention.
Ortom, who was full of praises for the commitment to the development of Oyo State by Governor Makinde, expressed optimism that the people of the state would return him for a second term.
The Governor appreciated the people of Oyo State for their support to the PDP and Governor Makinde, pointing out that their massive turnout at the campaign flag-off was an indication that the election in March this year is a done deal for the party.
