Benue state governor, Samuel Ortom believes that Nigeria is in distress and is currently been treated with “drip and oxygen.”
Speaking to newsmen at the Port Harcourt International Airport upon his return to the country alongside Rivers state governor Nyesom Wike, and Abia state governor Okezie Ikpeazu, Abia governor on Friday, August 26, Ortom stated that the country is in distress and can not be saved by one person.
Governor Ortom who is known to be vocal about his thoughts on the Buhari-led government said;
“We are looking at how we can harness ideas and put ourselves together to ensure that we get out of the present challenge we are in Nigeria today.
From top to bottom, consider what has happened since 2015 and where we are today. So, what we are doing is a concern that we have for our country, Nigeria.
This is beyond partisan politics. We are looking at how we can come together and find a way of ensuring that Nigeria survives. Nigeria is on a drip, Nigeria is on oxygen and it is about how can we get out of this.
We have individually also had earlier commitments in Europe even if consultations are still going on because nothing concrete has been decided. The consultation is going on and will continue to go on. We are still going to meet here.”
