2023 Polls: PDP G5 Governors Vow Not To Relent On Fight For Justice, Equity

The five governors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) dubbed as G5 has yesterday lamented that they won’t back down even though ‘enemies of progress’ were frustrating the party’s bid to return to power in 2023.

Members of the “G5”: Governors Nyesom Wike (Rivers State), Sam Ortom (Benue), Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu) and Seyi Makinde (Oyo), stormed Umuahia, capital of Abia State, for the kick-off of the governorship and parliamentary campaigns.

The G5, also known as the Integrity Group, promised to continue its fight for equity, fairness and justice in the party.

The PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and the national chairman, Senator Iyorchia Ayu, shunned the rally.

The G5, also known as the Integrity Group, promised to continue its fight for equity, fairness and justice in the party.

Wike, speaking at the Umuahia Township Stadium, urged Abians to follow Governor Okezie Ikpeazu and ensure that all PDP candidates for the 2023 general election are elected.

“He is a man of integrity, honesty and he is dependable, unlike some people who we supported with money and yet, they left the party.”

On the other hand, Ortom said the G5 will not relent until Nigeria is rescued from insecurity, poverty, social and economic problems.

Reiterating the governors quest to remain in PDP, he said the group is committed to the success of governorship and parliamentary candidates in their respective states.

He said:

“All our States from Abia to Rivers, to Oyo to Enugu, to Benue, all of us are PDP States, and we are very strong in all these States, and we are committed to our party.

“We have teamed together to build this party to make it very strong and our intention was that we will take over governance in 2023 and build Nigeria again from bottom to top.”

Ortom said Wike had provided massive encouragement, support and leadership in the battle against forces frustrating the PDP from winning the 2023 election.

He said:

“The five governors were men of integrity, who believed in equity, fairness and justice will never succumb to any intimidation.

Ortom added that:

“One notable person that has made this party what it is, is governor Wike. Since he joined PDP, he has never left PDP.

“In 2015, when I was denied the ticket, l left, went to APC and grab the governor, came back to PDP, because PDP is home.

“So, we appreciate PDP. It is the platform we are working for in our various states. We are not going to be intimated. We appreciate the traditional rulers. You charged us not to be intimidated, but stand for the truth. That is what we stand for.”

He also said some of those who were part of the movement that the next Nigeria’s president should be a southerner eventually “chickened out”.
