Ortom: Why G-5 Governors Can’t Join Atiku Campaign by Terabyteck(op): 2:16am On Jan 20, 2023
Governors in the G-5 group cannot join the campaign of the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar because the leadership of the PDP has made reconciliation impossible.

Benue Governor Samuel Ortom who disclosed this in Abuja on Thursday accused the PDP leadership of arrogance, impunity and mischief in the handling of the rift between Atiku and the G-5.

The Governors have demanded the replacement of the PDP National Chairman, Dr Iyorchia Ayu with another person from the South as condition to support Atiku.

Ortom, who spoke with newsmen in Abuja, said: “So, no efforts by the leadership of our party have been able to address the issues that we are raising. They have not been able to adopt methods that will pacify and placate the G5, you know. This is not right. So, on the G5, that is where we are.

“Arrogance, impunity, mischief, will not really help matters. One would expect humility; it is said that you stoop down to conquer even if you want to make it.”


The Benue Governor expressed disappointment with some PDP leaders in the South who chickened out on the demand for power shift to the South.

“I must say that I am disappointed with some of our PDP southern governors who chickened out, who sold out and chose to do something else.

“In the APC, all the governors in the North allowed for power shift even when they have a majority. I must commend them for fighting for equity, fairness and justice, because they considered that the presidency should go to the south.


“We (G-5) are committed to issues of integrity, issues of fairness, equity, and justice,” Ortom added.

The Governor said the G-5 remained on course and will not back down on its demands, stressing that they have given the PDP leadership ample time to address the issues at stake.

Continuing, the Benue Governor said: “I think we are on course as far as I am concerned with our group. As faithful party men, we have given enough time. And we are told that the failed leadership at the national level will take advantage of the opportunity we have given them to address those issues.

“There are many ways of addressing issues even when you are not able to meet the demands of a group or individuals, you will find a way of meeting.

“And then you find a meeting place where people decide to be arrogant, where they decide to be mischievous, and do things as if the other person does not exist and try to do some things with impunity, as if they have won election and they don’t need any other person. It becomes a problem.”

Fact
Re: Ortom: Why G-5 Governors Can’t Join Atiku Campaign by Felimax(m):
Better!

At the moment we don't want distractions.

In Tambuwal's voice G5 do your worst!

Few five foolish governors want to steall the structure of a political party and expects everyone to be at their mercy. Nor be juju be that?

The day you made agreement with Wike to bring in Ayu the leadership of the party was not there.

The day you swore that Ayu is a trusted party man before Wike other Southern PDP governors were not there.

Now here we are with endless and needles cacophony of rantings from the five foolish governors who expired their oils before the BRIDEGROOM came. The doors will be shut before they will return.

As it has been foretold so it shall be.

Yes, they both planned it that the G5 should not come to their senses but remain prodigal!

They both planned the endless charades of insults and character assassination melted in the presidential candidate by Wike. In fact, it was Atiku and Ayu who gave them the script to be rubbishing his name.

Nor be only planned na plantain!

People can talk Sha!

You are writing NONSENSE. Do you know how much Atiku has personally invested in the project of becoming the president of this country in this election cycle?

If you knew the amount, you wouldn't sit in a corner of your house and call the unfortunate situation in the PDP catching cruise.

'You can't share or zone what you do not have' this was what Adamu Muazu told Rivers State people when he was handing PDP flag over to Wike in 2014.
Ayu will resign after the election that is for sure Atiku wins or loses this is common sense.

Have you beaten a child and after crying a while,s/he is waiting for you to console her and you refuse? Then the hiccups will come.

That's where the G-5 guys are currently. They can not dump PDP because of their political careers and they couldn't force PDP to do their bidding. They're begging for attention which PDP is currently starving them of.

This is a lesson to all of us. Know where your strength starts and ends

Thanks for your cooperation.

Their oil has expired. Who is going to welcome those Judases back to PDP!

So many persons may stop supporting Atiku should Wike most especially return to the campaign train. Better he remain where he is.

Oga, the G5 are making things difficult to settle. Wike's plan is to control the party as usual and he is presently bittered with Atiku, so no one trust him from the other side.
Let the support whoever they want, and everyone move forward but they will never control the party as desired.

It is Orthom at the behest of Wike that headed the PDP Committee that opened threw open the PDP presidential ticket to all the geopolitical zones of the country. They threw away zoning the presidency to the south east thereby given candidates from other zones to contest. Atiku contested only because the Orthom Committee threw the tickec open to all the geopolitical zones.

Dem no serious. Instead of them to strategically plan ahead of Ayu's March expiring date , Dem dey run mouth up and down. Have they forgotten they have more to gain from pdp wining the election with or without Ayu than sabotaging their party presidential election chances?
What cost them if they just declare that they will be supportive of their party presidential goal as priority above Atiku/Ayu's?
