Ortom:No Agreement With APC by AtikuOkowa: 12:17pm On Dec 30, 2022
CONTRARY to speculations in the
social media, the G5 governors of the
Peoples Demo-
cratic Party (PDP) meeting in London,
United Kingdom, have not reached
any agree- ment to support the presi-
dential candidate of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), Senator
Bola Tinubu in the 2023 election.
The social media was awash with
reports on Thursday that the former
La- gos State governor met with the
Nyesom Wike-led group in London,
where the agree- ment was struck to
back the candidate of the ruling
party in the election.
Special Assistant to the President of
New Media, Bashir Ahmad, also
posted on his Twitter account a
statement that suggested that the G5
made a good of- fer to Tinubu.
“The offer put forward by the five
governors was fan- tastically positive.
That will definitely help us to seal
our imminent victory in 2023. Let’s
do it together,” he posted.
However, any suggestion of an
agreement has now been denied by
the group, which maintained that
there is no such thing, disclosing that
they will not be afraid to tell
Nigerians whatever they may be
involved in.
Speaking on phone from London to
the Nigerian Tri- bune, Governor Sam
Ortom of Benue State dismissed the
claim of an agreement to support
Tinubu.
He said with their standing and
experience, if they come to any
decision, they will be the ones to
inform Nigeri- ans.
Responding to enquiry about
agreement to support Tinubu, Ortom
declared: “It’s not true. There is
noth- ing like that. As experienced as
we are, if we are doing anything, we
will let the public know.”
The governors are ex- pected to fly
into Port Har- court, Rivers State,
(today), where they are expected to
have an engagement with the media.
The governors also dared the party to
expel them should they decide to
choose another party’s can-didate
to support in 2023 other than Atiku.
When the Nigerian Tri- bune drew
the attention of one of the governors
to the the report on the party’s
alleged plan to expel them, one of
them responded: “Let them try.”
He, however, did not give details of
what the group would do if indeed
the party carries out such threat.
When contacted on the governor’s
position, the party’s national
publicity secretary, Debo Ologun-
agba, said it would not be drawn into
speculation.
He maintained that the PDP runs on
processes and will deal with any
situation that arises by applying the
provisions of its constitution.
Ologunagba asserted that every
member of the PDP that subscribes
to its con- stitution must abide by
the provisions, saying: “The PDP is a
party of constitution, of rule of law,
of process and procedure and we
don’t re- act to speculations. What
you’re asking me now is a
speculation, because you have even
added a new di- mension that they
said they will expel them.
“We are a party that be- lieves in
constitutional process. When anything
happens, we will react ap- propriately
in line with our constitution as a
party.”
Asked why the party had not taken
any action against Senator Chimaroke
Nnamani for campaigning for Tinubu,
the presidential candidate of the APC
while remaining in the PDP, he said
the main opposition party was being
cautious.
Ologunagba explained: “You just
referenced Senator Nnamani. He is a
member of this party, a senator of
the Federal Republic elected un- der
the platform of the PDP. He
recognises the obligation imposed on
him as a party leader.
“When and if he decides to go
contrary to that provi- sion, the
appropriate provi- sions of the
constitution will apply as appropriate
to any member, including Senator
Nnamani, for any action that is
inconsistent with the ex- pected
behaviour and activ- ities of
individual members of the party that
is not con- sistent with the provisions
of our constitution.”

It's safe to add "Fake endorsement" among the CV of Tinubu.

Everything about the guy is fake.

APC is a house of propaganda. They cherish immediate joy in chestbeating that ends at nothing. What Shasprarse call Much Ado About Nothing. Later, the same chestbeating will come back to hurt them. Bunch of dimwits.
