The Group of five Governors on the platform of the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP), otherwise known as G-5, have resolved to team up with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to build the Nigerian nation.
Rising from a close door meeting with President Tinubu today, June 8, at the Presidential villa, Abuja, the G-5 emphasized that the visit was part of their nation building efforts.
Speaking to newsmen on their behalf by the Oyo state governor, Seyi Makinde, the group, made up of immediate past governors of Rivers, Nyesom Wike; Enugu, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi; Abia, Okezie Ikpeazu and Benue, Samuel Ortom, said that they wanted the President to know what they stand for.
They made it clear that they stand for fairness, justice and equity.
“Well, nation building is a very difficult task. You have to keep evaluating. You know what your day is, where you’re going? So, we have to keep seeing the President, you know, to let him know what is happening.
“And for this evening, the G-5, the integrity group, we also came to let the President know what we stood for: fairness, justice, and equity”.
The G-5 said that now that elections have been won and lost: “we are going towards Mr. President, you know, coming with us on the route for fairness, for justice and for equity in Nigeria.”
